| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Emperor Nero facing left, rendered in portrait style characteristic of his later coinage, with a small globe positioned at the base of the neck truncation — a symbol of universal dominion. The facial features reflect the mature, fleshy portraiture associated with Neronian bronzes of the Roman mint. The encircling legend in Latin runs along the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits a heavily worn and corroded surface with green patination typical of excavated Roman aes coinage. |

| Reverse description | Winged figure of Victory, draped, striding dynamically to the left, holding with both hands a large oval shield inscribed S P Q R — the abbreviation of Senatus Populusque Romanus, affirming the Roman state's authority. The composition reflects the standard Neronian Victory type employed on aes coinage of this period, emphasizing imperial triumph. The senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the field, likely flanking the central figure. The reverse surface is heavily worn, with detail largely obscured by corrosion and patination. |
