| Obverse description | Radiate bust of Emperor Nero facing left, depicted with characteristic portraits of the Julio-Claudian period, showing curly hair beneath the radiate crown. The Greek legend surrounds the effigy, running along the upper and lower periphery of the flan. The regnal year date LIΔ (Year 14) appears prominently in the lower left field, a hallmark of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The portrait is rendered in the characteristic style of the Alexandrian mint, with bold and slightly stylized facial features. The overall composition reflects the fusion of Roman imperial iconography with Greek provincial minting traditions. |
