| Obverse lettering | IMP NERO CAESAR AVG PONT MAX TR POT P P (Translation: Imperator Nero Caesar Augustus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestas, Pater Patriae. Supreme commander (Imperator) Nero Caesar, emperor (Augustus), high priest, tribunician power, father of the country.) |
| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene of imperial largesse set on a raised platform (suggestum). Nero is seated on a curule chair at left, facing right, attended by Minerva standing behind him. A figure of Liberalitas stands at center on the platform, holding an abacus and cornucopia, distributing gifts. At the foot of the steps, a citizen mounts the staircase to receive the congiarium, while the large senatorial mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently displayed in the lower field to either side of the steps. The composition is executed in the multi-figure narrative style characteristic of large Neronian bronze coinage. |
