The portrait displays the mature Neronian style, with the emperor's beard finely detailed.

| Reverse description | Salus, the personification of health and well-being, seated left upon a high-backed throne rendered in profile, holding a patera in her extended right hand and resting her left arm along the side of the throne. The figure is depicted in flowing robes with careful attention to drapery detail characteristic of Julio-Claudian artistic convention. The field is plain, and the reverse legend SALVS appears prominently in the field, identifying the deity. |
