I just received this drachm of Nero and Claudius that I won last week.

All of a sudden I seem to have a group of Nero's silver coins. I really like the portraits on this coin.

Coins like this one are an excellent way to get portraits of Nero and Claudius on a silver coin without having to break the bank on the Claudius denarius with the Nero reverse (RIC 83).



Please post your coins of Nero.

Nero and Divo Claudius, AD 54-69.
AR drachm, 19mm, 3.5g, 6h; Caesarea Cappadocia mint.
Obv.: NERO CLAVD DIVI CLAVD F CAESAR AVG GERM; Laureate head of Nero.
Rev.: DIVOS CLAVD AVGVST GERMANIC PATER AVG; Laureate head of Claudius right.
Reference: RIC 621 (R2)

Congrats & love the coin. I have eyes on the Nero & Divus Claudius Tetradrachm but can't swing it yet.

I do have a Nero AR Tetradrachm of Antioch though - Not a great example but one that I can appreciate.
