| Obverse description | Bare, bearded head of Numa Pompilius, the legendary second king of Rome, facing right with a diadem bearing the inscription NVMA. The legend CN•PISO•PRO•Q appears in the field behind the portrait, identifying the issuing magistrate Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso in his capacity as proquaestor. The portrait is rendered in the austere, idealized style typical of late Republican coinage, with strong facial features and a short beard. A linear border frames the design. |
