| Obverse lettering | IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR P COS II P P (Translation: Imperator Nerva Caesar Augustus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestate, Consul Secundum, Pater Patriae. Supreme commander (Imperator) Nerva, Caesar, emperor (Augustus), high priest, holder of tribunician power, consul for the second time, father of the nation.) |
| Reverse description | The personification of Libertas rendered as a draped female figure standing facing left in a composed, frontal posture. In her extended right hand she holds a pileus (the felt cap symbolizing emancipation and freedom), while her left hand grasps a short vertical sceptre slightly angled to the right. The figure is executed in the classical allegorical tradition of Roman imperial reverse types, conveying the political message of restored public liberty following Domitian's reign. The abbreviated senatorial authority marker S C (Senatus Consulto) appears prominently in the field, flanking the standing figure, with the reverse legend disposed around the periphery. |
