| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare laureate head of the emperor Nero facing left, rendered in the provincial style typical of Pontic civic coinage of the mid-first century AD. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful features associated with early Neronian imagery. The circular Greek legend ΝΕΡΩΝ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΣ runs around the periphery of the flan. The coin is struck on an irregular flan with some surface encrustation consistent with its bronze fabric and burial history. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Heraclea Pontica had a long tradition of civic bronze coinage stretching back to the fourth century BC, and under Nero the city continued issuing in its own name — ΗΡΑΚΛΕΩΤΑΝ, "of the Heracleans" — rather than adopting the imperial mint's output wholesale. This was common practice in the eastern provinces, where Rome permitted local bronzes to circulate for small transactions while silver flowed from centralized sources.
Nero's reign saw considerable administrative reorganization in Bithynia and Pontus, a province notorious for financial mismanagement that Pliny the Younger would later document exhaustively under Trajan.
