| Obverse description | Radiate head of Emperor Nerva facing right, rendered in the realistic portraiture style characteristic of late 1st-century Roman imperial coinage. The effigy displays the emperor's aged features with naturalistic detail, encircled by the imperial titulature legend running along the coin's periphery. The radiate crown, composed of evenly spaced points, identifies the denomination as a dupondius. The overall relief, though worn, retains the hallmarks of official Roman mint craftsmanship. |
