| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Nero facing right, rendered with fine detail in the characteristic early imperial portrait style, the hair elaborately curled in the Julio-Claudian fashion with locks falling to the nape of the neck. The emperor is depicted bare-necked with a strong, youthful profile. The circumferential legend reads NERO CAESAR AVG GERM IMP, distributed around the bust, and the whole is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A detailed frontal elevation of the Janus Geminus, the twin-gated rectangular shrine of Janus in the Roman Forum, its double-leaved latticed doors shown firmly closed to symbolize peace throughout the Roman world. The structure is depicted with a tiled roof, decorated entablature, and barred windows above the doors, rendered with careful architectural precision. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consulto) appears in the field to either side of the temple. The encircling legend PACE P R VBIQ PARTA IANVM CLVSIT commemorates Nero's closure of the temple gates, a rare act signifying universal peace, all within a beaded border. |
