| Obverse description | Bare-headed portrait bust of the Emperor Nero facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of the Conventus of Ephesus. The youthful, unadorned effigy displays the characteristic early Neronian features with short hair. The Greek legend ΝΕΡΩΝ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ is disposed around the bust in the field. |

| Reverse description | Ploutodotes (the Wealth-Giver, an epithet associated with Pluto) depicted as a seated male figure facing left, enthroned on a high-backed chair or throne, holding a sceptre in one hand and a small Nike (winged Victory figure) in the other. The composition is characteristic of provincial civic coinage from Nysa-on-the-Maeander, celebrating the city's divine patron. The ethnic legend ΝΥΣΑΕΩΝ ΠΛΟΥΤΟΔΟΤΗΣ runs around the figure in the field. |
