| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Nero facing right, rendered with youthful idealized features characteristic of his early reign. The emperor's hair falls in short, tightly arranged curls across the forehead in the Julio-Claudian style. A small aegis or paludamentum is visible at the base of the neck on the left. The surrounding Latin legend reads NERO CLAVD DIVI CLAVD F CAESAR AVG GERMANI, arranged around the periphery of the flan. The portrait displays confident, high-relief die-cutting consistent with the Caesarean mint tradition of the mid-first century AD. |
