| Obverse description | Bare-shouldered, laureate bust of Nero facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair arranged in tight curls and ribbons of the laurel wreath falling behind the neck. A small globe is depicted at the base of the neck truncation, a symbol of universal dominion. The effigy displays the characteristic youthful physiognomy of Nero's early portraiture, with full cheeks and a strong jaw. The circular legend runs along the beaded border of the field, reading IMP NERO CAESAR AVG PONT MAX TR POT P P. |
