| Obverse description | Laureate head of Nero facing right, rendered in a bold provincial style with pronounced facial features and a ribbon tied at the nape of the neck. The effigy is encircled by a beaded border. The Greek legend runs around the periphery of the field, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. |
