| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Nero facing right, rendered in a somewhat barbarous style characteristic of Germanic imitative coinage. The portrait displays a laureate or bare head with simplified facial features, the neck truncation visible at the bottom. A degraded Latin legend surrounds the bust in the field, partially legible and imitating the titulature of the Roman emperor Nero. The engraving reflects a provincial hand copying Roman prototypes, with irregular letter forms and uneven spacing typical of non-official imitative issues. |
