Obverse description Laureate bust of Nero facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curling hair and a small globe at the base of the neck truncation, a hallmark of his later portrait series. The emperor is depicted bare-necked with youthful, idealized facial features characteristic of the Neronian court style. The encircling legend runs clockwise around the obverse field, separated from the portrait by a plain raised border. The overall composition conveys imperial authority through the prominence and scale of the effigy relative to the coin's flan.

(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.)
