radiate bust of Nero facing left, wearing aegis,
     with Greek legends for NERO.KLAV.KAIS.SEB.GER.AV. The regnal year
     LI Gamma appears in the left field, and denotes that this piece
     was minted in Year 13 of Nero's reign. The reverse type features
     the laureate bust of Zeus Olympios facing right, with Greek
     legends for DIOS.OLYMPIOU. Coin is struck on a smallish flan, and
     shows light granularity, but otherwise grades F, with clear
     devices and partial legends visible. A very decent example of the
     type, Milne 262.
