| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Nerva facing right, with bare neck and slight drapery visible at the truncation, rendered in the restrained, naturalistic style typical of Flavian-era portraiture. The emperor's aged features — sunken cheeks, prominent nose, and lined brow — are rendered with characteristic Roman realism. The circular legend runs from lower left around the periphery of the flan. The field is smooth and the portrait occupies the central area of the obverse in high relief. |
