| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Nero facing left, rendered in a naturalistic late Julio-Claudian style with characteristic youthful features, heavy neck, and layered curls across the forehead and nape. A small globe is placed at the truncation of the neck, symbolizing world dominion. The draped shoulder is visible at the bust truncation. The encircling legend runs clockwise from lower left, inscribed in well-spaced Latin capitals within the outer border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the tetrastyle Temple of Janus Geminus shown in three-quarter perspective, its walls rendered with a latticed or grille window on the left side and double-panelled doors to the right, across which a festive garland is draped to indicate the closure of the temple in time of peace. The architectural rendering is characteristic of Neronian bronze coinage, emphasizing the ideological message of universal peace. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the field or as part of the surrounding legend. |
