605 coin types catalogued

Nero (AD 54 to 68) was the last Julio-Claudian emperor. His early coinage shows a youthful portrait that matures over his reign. In AD 64, Nero reformed the currency, reducing the weight and purity of the denarius and aureus. His coins are popular with collectors for their high artistic quality, particularly the sestertii struck at the Rome mint.
