| Obverse lettering | IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR P COS III P P (Translation: Imperator Nerva Caesar Augustus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestate, Consul Tertium, Pater Patriae. Supreme commander (Imperator) Nerva, Caesar, emperor (Augustus), high priest, holder of tribunician power, consul for the third time, father of the nation.) |
| Reverse description | Two military standards depicted facing each other in the centre of the field, their shafts crossed diagonally, surmounted by an eagle finial on the left standard; the composition symbolises harmony between the legions. The legend CONCORDIA EXERCITVVM arcs around the upper periphery, while the senatorial authorisation mark S C is positioned in the lower field flanking the standards. The design is set within a plain border and reflects Nerva's programmatic effort to secure loyalty from the Roman army following his accession. |
