Commentary
Poids léger. Cette monnaie hybride associe un coin de droit au nom de Néron avec un revers probablement de Vespasien ! Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié. Manque aux principaux ouvrages consultés. C’est le troisième hybride Néron/Vespasien recensé. La légende de revers n’existe normalement pas.
Lightweight. This hybrid coin combines a front die bearing the name of Nero with a reverse likely of Vespasian! It appears to be completely unpublished and unlisted. Missing from the main works consulted. This is the third Nero/Vespasian hybrid recorded. The reverse legend does not normally exist.

Historical background
NERO
(13/10/54-9/06/68)
The monetary reform of 64 made it possible to restore the finances of the state while making the inhabitants of the Empire bear the cost of these. This year 64 is marked by the great fire of Rome and its consequences, including the persecution against the Christians of the city. The following year, it is the discovery of the conspiracy of Pison, the death of Seneca and Lucain. In 66, Tiridates was enthroned King of Armenia in Rome. Nero then goes to Greece where he performs on stage and proclaims "The freedom of Greece". The excesses of the emperor cause at the beginning of the year 68 a wave of discontent which culminates with the revolt of Vindex in Gaule, Galba and Otho in Spain. Nero is declared a public enemy by the Senate. He committed suicide on June 9 so as not to fall alive into the hands of his enemies..
