| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Emperor Nero facing right, depicted with the characteristic youthful portraiture of his early reign, the wreath of laurel leaves rendered in the local Greek provincial style. The legend ΚΑΙϹΑΡ ΝΕΡωΝ runs around the periphery of the flan in Greek characters, identifying the emperor as Caesar Nero. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with hand-struck provincial bronze coinage of the Julio-Claudian period. |

| Reverse description | Radiate bust of Emperor Nero facing right, the radiate crown rendered with prominent rays emanating from the head, a motif associated with solar divinity and imperial apotheosis in Greek provincial coinage. The bust is draped, with drapery visible at the truncation. The encircling Greek legend ϹΕΒΑϹΤΟϹ ΜΑΓΝΗΤωΝ runs around the periphery of the field, proclaiming Nero as Augustus and asserting the civic identity of the issuing community of the Magnetes. |
