| Obverse script | Latin |
| Obverse lettering | IMP NERVA CAES AVG GERM P M TR P II (Translation: Supreme commander Nerva, Caesar, emperor, conqueror of the Germans, high priest, holder of tribunician power for the second time.) |
| Reverse description | Standing figure of Fortuna, goddess of fortune, draped in long flowing robes, positioned facing left. In her extended right hand she holds a rudder set upon the ground, symbolising the steering of fate, while her left hand grasps a cornucopiae, emblematic of abundance and prosperity. The senatorial legend S C (Senatus Consulto) appears prominently in the field, affirming the authority of the Senate over base-metal coinage. The remaining reverse inscription is distributed around the upper and lower periphery of the coin, framing the central allegorical composition in a manner typical of Nervan bronze issues. |
