| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Nerva facing right, depicted with characteristic aged features consistent with his portraiture. The bust is draped and positioned to the right within the coin's field. A circular legend surrounds the effigy, reading IMP NERVA CAES AVG PONT MAX TR P, rendered in incuse Latin capitals. The engraving is executed in the high-relief hammered style typical of late first-century Roman imperial coinage. The flan shows slight irregularity at the edges, consistent with hand-struck production at the Rome Mint. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Diana, goddess of the hunt, depicted in dynamic striding pose facing left within the field. She is shown as a huntress, wearing a short tunic, her right arm raised and extended as if drawing a bow, with a hound or stag at her feet. The reverse legend COS II DESIGN III P P is inscribed around the periphery in Latin capitals, referencing Nerva's consular and honorific titles. The composition conveys the energetic Flavian artistic tradition carried into the Nervan period. The die work is bold and characteristic of Rome Mint production in AD 96. |
