| Obverse description | Jugate busts facing right, with the youthful, bare-headed and draped bust of Nero prominently in the foreground, and the draped, bare-headed bust of Agrippina the Younger positioned behind. The effigies are rendered in the classical Roman portrait style, with Nero's drapery visible at the back of the neck. The encircling legend identifies both imperial figures, running along the outer border of the field. |

| Reverse description | A quadriga of elephants processing to the left, drawing a ceremonial car upon which are mounted two curule chairs (sellae curules), each occupied by a radiate, deified figure representing Divus Claudius and Divus Augustus respectively. The elephants, symbols of imperial triumph and divinity, are rendered in procession, evoking the pompa circensis. The legend surrounding the scene references Agrippina Augusta and the senatorial decree authorizing the issue, with the abbreviated EX S C denoting senatorial authority. |
