| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Nerva facing right, rendered in high relief with characteristic aged features and short hair beneath the laurel wreath. The bust is draped at the shoulder, with the imperial effigy depicted in the austere, realistic portraiture style of the Flavian-Nervan period. The encircling Latin legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A multi-figured congiarium scene depicting Nerva seated right upon a raised platform on a curule chair; before him, an officer is seated right presiding over the distribution of the imperial dole to a standing citizen accompanied by a child. Two statues are visible in the background, representing Liberalitas and Minerva, emblematic of the emperor's generosity and divine patronage. The reverse legend is divided across the field, with S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently placed to authorize the bronze coinage. |
