| Obverse description | Bare-headed portrait bust of Nero facing left, rendered in the naturalistic style characteristic of early Neronian coinage, with a small globe at the base of the neck truncation. The emperor's hair is depicted in thick, curling locks arranged across the forehead and temples. The circular Latin legend runs along the beaded border surrounding the portrait. The effigy conveys a youthful, idealized likeness consistent with imperial propaganda of the period. |
