| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Fortuna, goddess of fortune and luck, depicted facing left in the center of the field. She holds a rudder in her right hand, resting on a globe at her feet, symbolizing the guidance of fate, and a cornucopia in her left hand, representing abundance and prosperity. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is placed in the field to either side of the figure, flanking her at mid-body. The legend FORTVNA AVGVST is distributed around the periphery of the reverse. The figure is rendered in the classical Roman style with flowing drapery and composed stance characteristic of Nervan imperial coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nerva's reign opened with a pointed rejection of Domitianic iconography — Fortuna Augusta had appeared on Domitian's coinage, but Nerva's Senate-backed administration repurposed the type as a deliberate signal of restored constitutional order after Domitian's damnatio memoriae in September 96 AD. This sestertius was struck within weeks of that assassination, making it among the earliest issues of the new regime.
RIC II 60 is attested in relatively modest numbers, consistent with the brevity of Nerva's reign — just fifteen months in total.
