| Reverse description | A laurel wreath, finely rendered with tied ends at the base, occupies the central field and encloses the abbreviation EX S C (Ex Senatus Consulto — by decree of the Senate), attesting to senatorial authorization of the issue. The outer legend PONTIF MAX TR P III COS II is distributed around the wreath within a beaded border, recording Nero's priestly, tribunician, and consular titles. The composition is simple yet authoritative, reflecting early Neronian numismatic convention for gold coinage. |
