| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Nerva facing right, with draped shoulders, rendered in the restrained and aged portrait style characteristic of his brief reign. The effigy displays the emperor's distinctive elderly features, with a furrowed brow and close-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath, conveying authority and gravitas. The circumferential Latin legend is distributed around the obverse field, reading continuously from the lower left. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, typical of hammered sestertii struck at the Rome mint during this period. |
