| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Vespasian facing right, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style characteristic of the Flavian period. The laureate wreath is clearly articulated around the imperial effigy. The surrounding Greek legend runs along the periphery of the flan, partially visible due to the irregular striking. The portrait displays the broad, fleshy facial features typical of Vespasian's numismatic iconography. |
