| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Nero facing right, with an aegis visible at the neck, rendered in high relief with fine portraiture typical of early Neronian coinage. The emperor's hair is arranged in the characteristic layered fringe across the forehead, with longer locks falling behind the ear. The legend runs clockwise around the periphery within a beaded border, reading NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR P IMP P P. The portrait displays the broad, fleshy facial features associated with Nero's mature likeness as depicted on sestertii of this period. |
