| Obverse description | Bare-headed laureate bust of Nero facing right, depicted with characteristic youthful features including short curly hair and a slight neck drapery. The portrait is rendered in the Julio-Claudian artistic tradition, presenting the emperor in a formal imperial profile. A partial encircling legend in Latin runs along the periphery of the flan, though the irregular planchet limits the full visibility of the inscription. The die work reflects the provincial hemidrachm coinage style associated with the Caesarean mint of Cappadocia. |

| Obverse lettering | NERO CLAVD DIVI CLAVD F CAESAR AVG GERMANI (Translation: Nero Claudius Divi Claudii Filius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. Nero Claudius, son of the divine Claudius, Caesar, emperor (Augustus), victor over the Germans.) |
| Reverse description | A winged Victory figure stands facing, arms outstretched, rendered in a dynamic pose suggestive of triumphant flight or alighting. She is depicted in flowing drapery, with wings prominently spread. The legend ARMENIAC is inscribed in Greek-style majuscule lettering across the field to the left of the figure, referencing Nero's victory title Armeniacus. A partial dotted border is visible along the lower right periphery of the coin, consistent with the style of Cappadocian provincial hemidrachms of this period. |
