I did however take another one that looks a bit more like the image on coins, but also we are looking at these sculptures full face unlike coins side view and the hooked nose might not be as noticeable, so below is the other one I took and here is the link to the one in Rome's National Museum.<a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Head_of_Marcus_Cocceius_Nerva_in_Museo_Nazionale_Romano.jpg/800px-Head_of_Marcus_Cocceius_Nerva_in_Museo_Nazionale_Romano.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Head_of_Marcus_Cocceius_Nerva_in_Museo_Nazionale_Romano.jpg/800px-Head_of_Marcus_Cocceius_Nerva_in_Museo_Nazionale_Romano.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Head_of_Marcus_Cocceius_Nerva_in_Museo_Nazionale_Romano.jpg/800px-Head_of_Marcus_Cocceius_Nerva_in_Museo_Nazionale_Romano.jpg</a>[ATTACH=full]550316[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
