| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Fortuna facing left in the central field, rendered as a draped female deity in classical contrapposto stance. In her extended right hand she holds a rudder resting on a globe, symbolizing the guidance of fortune, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with abundance. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently placed in the field to either side of the figure. The reverse legend FORTVNA AVGVST is inscribed along the left periphery, referencing the good fortune of the emperor. The design follows the canonical Flavian-Nervan iconographic tradition for personified virtues on the large bronze coinage. |

Nerva's reign lasted just 16 months, but his sestertii carry outsized historical weight. He was selected by the Senate within hours of Domitian's assassination in September 96 AD — an elderly, childless senator elevated specifically because he posed no dynastic threat. The Fortuna Augusta type belongs to his earliest emission, part of a calculated messaging campaign to distance the new regime from Domitian's increasingly autocratic rule.
RIC II 73 is among the more frequently encountered Nerva sestertii, though genuine worn examples still outnumber high-grade survivors considerably given the brevity of the reign.
