| Obverse description | Bare-necked, laureate bust of Emperor Nero facing left, rendered in high relief with characteristic fleshy features and wavy hair bound by a laurel wreath. The effigy displays the idealised yet recognisable portraiture style of the Neronian period, with a broad, rounded face and full neck. A dotted border frames the design, and the Latin legend encircles the bust, reading from lower left to upper right around the field. |

| Reverse description | The Janus Geminus temple depicted in schematic architectural elevation, showing a rectangular structure with a latticed or grilled window on the right side and double panelled doors on the left, adorned with a garland or festoon hung across the facade to symbolise the closing of the temple in times of universal peace. The legend surrounds the design in the field, with the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently flanking the lower portion of the temple, affirming the senatorial authorisation of this aes coinage. |
