Obverse lettering NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GER P M TR P IMP P P
(Translation: Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestas, Imperator, Pater Patriae. Nero Claudius, Caesar, emperor (Augustus), victor over the Germans, high priest, tribunician power, supreme commander (Imperator), father of the country.)
Reverse description Winged figure of Victory, draped and striding left, holding aloft in both hands a large oval shield inscribed S P Q R (Senatus Populusque Romanus), presented as a votive offering. The composition conveys dynamic movement through the forward stride and outstretched arms, reflecting the Hellenistic artistic tradition adopted in Roman imperial iconography. The abbreviated senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the field, flanking the central type, as was standard on Julio-Claudian aes coinage. The reverse die is boldly engraved in keeping with the monumental style of Neronian bronze issues struck at Rome.
