| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Nero facing right, rendered with youthful, idealised features and characteristic curly hair falling over the forehead and nape; a small globe is depicted at the base of the neck truncation, symbolising world dominion. The portrait is executed in the vigorous, naturalistic style of Neronian coinage. The encircling legend runs clockwise from the lower left within a beaded border. |

Within the central intercolumniations, two seated figures are visible flanking a central double-leaved door, with decorative floral panels at the base of each column. The senatorial authorisation mark S·C (Senatus Consultum) appears in large letters in the left and right fields, and the legend ARA PACIS is inscribed in the exergue, all within a beaded border. |
