| Obverse description | Bare head of Nero facing left, rendered in the youthful portrait style characteristic of his early reign, with thick curling hair arranged in a layered fringe across the forehead. A small globe is placed at the truncation of the neck, symbolizing universal dominion. The surrounding Latin legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan. The portrait is rendered in moderately high relief with naturalistic facial modeling, typical of Julio-Claudian die engraving. |

| Reverse description | The goddess Roma personified, helmeted and clad in military dress, seated left upon a cuirass. In her extended right hand she holds a wreath, while her left hand grasps a parazonium (short military sword). Behind her figure are depicted various captured arms and armour, serving as trophies of Roman military supremacy. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the field, flanking the central legend, indicating that this bronze issue was struck under senatorial sanction. |
