| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-shouldered laureate bust of Nero facing left, rendered with characteristic fleshy features and elaborate curled hair, a small globe positioned at the truncation of the neck symbolizing dominion over the world. The portrait is boldly executed in high relief, typical of Neronian sestertii, with the laureate wreath rendered in fine detail. The surrounding legend in Latin capitals runs clockwise along the beaded border, identifying the emperor with his full titulature. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The ADLOCVT COH type was struck to commemorate Nero's formal address to the Praetorian Guard — a ritual adlocutio in which the emperor publicly affirmed his relationship with the troops, usually following a new accession or a moment of political consolidation. For Nero, whose grip on the Guard had been shakily inherited from Claudius, these issues functioned as periodic reassurances rather than celebrations of any single event. The sestertius format gave the scene maximum visual impact in daily transactions, orichalcum carrying a warm golden tone that bronze could not replicate.
