| Obverse description | Bare head of Lucius Clodius Macer facing right, rendered in a bold, slightly provincial style characteristic of the usurper's emergency coinage of AD 68. The portrait is unidealized, with strong facial features and short-cropped hair. The encircling legend reads L CLODIVS MACER S C, interrupted by the portrait, with S C appearing below the bust. The dotted border frames the design within the coin's irregular flan. |
