| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Nerva facing right, rendered in fine high relief with naturalistic portraiture characteristic of Flavian-era Roman coinage. The emperor's neck is slightly draped, and his facial features convey the mature dignity befitting his imperial station. The surrounding field is smooth and unadorned, drawing focus to the effigy. A beaded border frames the entire design. The full titular legend encircles the portrait, reading from lower left in a continuous arc. |
