| Obverse script | Latin |
| Obverse lettering | NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR P IMP P P (Translation: Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestas, Imperator, Pater Patriae Nero Claudius, Caesar, emperor (Augustus), victor over the Germans, high priest, tribunician power, supreme commander (Imperator), father of the country.) |
| Reverse description | Full-length standing figure of Nero assimilated to Apollo Citharoedus, laureate and robed, advancing to the right while playing a lyre held before the body. The figure is depicted in a long garment with dynamic forward stride, conveying the emperor's well-documented artistic pretensions. The reverse field is plain and uninscribed, framed by a prominent beaded border. This reverse type is notably unusual for an as and reflects Nero's personal identification with Apollo as divine patron of the arts. |
