| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Nerva facing right, draped at the shoulder, rendered in the naturalistic portraiture style characteristic of the Flavian-Nervan period. The emperor's aged features — prominent brow, aquiline nose, and thin lips — are rendered with individualistic realism. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR P COS III P P, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The flan is irregular in shape, as is typical of hammered orichalcum sestertii of this period. |
