            In Classical Numismatic Group’s Mail Bid Sale 70 the following 
            description was given for the AE27 version of this fascinating much 
            discussed issue: 
              
            “This high grade specimen clarifies points of contention between 
            Ziegler and RPC. RPC dismisses Ziegler's identification of the 
            seated figure on the reverse as Boule (personification of the city 
            council) because "the figure's hand appears to be empty". This coin 
            clearly shows the tessera in the hand of Boule as she prepares to 
            drop it into the amphora at her feet. RPC identifies the countermark 
            as Howgego 23 (bearded head of Zeus right) while Ziegler identifies 
            it as Howgego 102 (male head right). This sharply struck countermark 
            reveals a radiate head with the features of Nero. This depiction of 
            Nero is most likely that of the Colossus, a 120 foot tall bronze 
            statue of Nero as Sol that was created by Zenodorus for the 
            vestibule of the Domus Aurea, or Golden House, a massive palace 
            constructed by Nero after the fire of 64 AD. This is a common 
            reverse type on imperial aurei and denarii (cf. RIC I 46-47 and lots 
            649 and 878 in this sale). The statue was destroyed after Nero's 
            downfall in 68, but its memory was retained in the popular name of 
            the amphitheater constructed by the Flavians at the same site-the 
            Colosseum.”
