| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Nero facing right, portrayed with characteristic youthful features and a wreath of laurel leaves. The bust is draped, with fine engraving visible on the neck and shoulders. The Greek legend ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΣ (Augustus) appears in the field, identifying the emperor by his imperial title. The portrait follows the conventional provincial die-cutting style of Asia Minor during the Julio-Claudian period. |
