背面描述	A legionary eagle (aquila) displayed centrally between two military standards; the left standard is surmounted by a manus (open hand) and the right by a vexillum (banner). The design evokes the legionary emblems of the Roman army. The reverse legend COS III appears in the field, referencing Nerva's third consulship. The composition is compact and symmetrical, typical of cistophoric reverse types.

附加信息	Nerva's cistophori were struck at the Pergamon mint in Asia Minor, continuing a tradition that stretched back to the Attalid kingdom of the second century BC. The denomination had long functioned as a regional currency for the eastern provinces, valued at three denarii but rarely circulating outside Asia. Nerva's COS III issues date to 97–98 AD, the final months of his reign before Trajan's succession — making this among the last coins he authorized before dying of natural causes in January 98.
