| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed bust of Nero facing left, rendered in high relief with characteristic thick neck and heavy facial features, displaying the emperor's youthful portrait style adopted during the early Neronian coinage reform. The bust is draped at the shoulder. A circular Latin legend runs continuously around the periphery of the flan, reading NERO CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR P IMP P P, separated from the portrait by a thin border. The die work reflects the accomplished engravers of the Rome Mint, with bold portraiture typical of Julio-Claudian bronzes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nero's aes coinage underwent a deliberate reform around 64 AD, when he reduced the weight standard of the as and adjusted the orichalcum and bronze denominations across the board — a debasement driven by the fiscal strain of his building campaigns and, almost certainly, the catastrophic fire that destroyed much of Rome that same year. The reformed bronzes circulated heavily throughout the empire and survive today in a wide range of conditions precisely because they were the everyday money of Roman commerce for decades after his death.
Nero was damnatus memoriae following his suicide in 68 AD, yet systematic destruction of his coinage never materialized at scale.
