| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Nero facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition typical of Alexandrian coinage. The emperor's hair is depicted in tight curls across the forehead and nape, with a wreath of laurel leaves crowning the head. A circular legend surrounds the effigy, partially legible in the field. The portrait displays the characteristic full facial features associated with Nero's mature coinage from the Alexandrian mint. |

| Reverse description | Eagle standing facing left with wings spread open, head turned to the right, positioned centrally in the field. The bird stands upon a thunderbolt or palm branch, rendered in strong relief with detailed feathering across the wings and body. A legend runs around the periphery of the field, with a date formula or regnal year indicated in the left field. The composition follows the standard Alexandrian tetradrachm reverse type associated with Neronian issues from Egypt. |
