| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Nero facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Galatian-Cappadocian issues. The emperor's portrait displays youthful features consistent with early Neronian coinage. A circular Greek legend surrounds the effigy, reading ΝΕΡΩΝΟϹ ΚΛΑΥΔΙΟΥ ΚΑΙϹΑΡΟϹ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΟΥ, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |

| Reverse description | A conical sacred mountain, likely representing the local cult mountain associated with Hierapolis in Phrygia or the Cappadocian region, depicted in profile with a small tree or branch visible to its right side. The mountain motif is a characteristic civic type reflecting local religious identity. The circular Greek legend ΙΕΡΟΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ ΤΩΝ ΠΡΟϹ ΤΩ ϹΑΡ surrounds the central device, identifying the issuing city, with the mark Β (denoting a denomination or magistrate's mark) placed in the lower field beneath the mountain. |
