| Obverse description | Laureate head of the Emperor Vespasian facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Alexandrian bronze coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic aged features with a wreath of laurel encircling the head. The flan is small and irregular, typical of late first-century Alexandrian issues, with the portrait occupying most of the available field. |
