Head of Nero Claudius Drusus, laureate, left., Triumphal arch surmounted by equestrian statue, right, between two trophies, each with captive at foot; the rider holds spear in right hand, Very fine specimen of aureus in the effigy of Nero Claudius Drusus, Claudius' father. This exceptional issue was posthumously struck in honor of Claudius' father, celebrating his legacy in the process. The reverse is particularly impressive, with a superb triumphal arch surmounted by an equestrian statue. Formerly worn as jewellery, a mark can be seen on the reverse at 12 o'clock, as well as two marks around 1 o'clock, one almost hidden by the slab branches. Between 4 and 5 o'clock, on the lower right arm, the metal has been pushed back by the jewellery mounting and has left a mark that is also partially hidden.
