| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed bust of Nero facing right, rendered in high relief with characteristic youthful features including thick, elaborately curled hair arranged in tight waves across the forehead and temples, consistent with the early portraiture of his reign. The effigy displays a fleshy neck and softly modeled facial features typical of Neronian gold coinage. The encircling Latin legend is distributed around the bust, reading partially on each side of the field. The portrait style reflects the refined die-cutting of the Rome mint during the early 60s AD. |

Nero's "EX S C" aurei remain poorly understood. The abbreviation — indicating senatorial authority — is unusual on gold coinage, where the emperor held sole mint prerogative without constitutional need for senate approval. Scholars have debated whether it signals a genuine political gesture toward the senate early in Nero's reign or simply mimics a formula borrowed from bronze issues. The VIIII tribunician iteration dates this precisely to 62–63 AD, just as Nero's relationship with the senate was beginning its terminal deterioration following the death of Burrus and the dismissal of Seneca.
