| Obverse description | Bare or laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in the naturalistic Roman imperial portrait style. A military standard is visible to the left of the effigy.

| Reverse description | An eagle, wings spread, perched upon a thunderbolt at center, flanked on either side by a legionary standard. The abbreviated legend LEG V and LEG VII, divided by the central device, commemorates Legio V Macedonica and Legio VII, the two legions associated with Vespasian's rise to power during the Year of the Four Emperors. The design reflects the strong military character of Vespasian's colonial coinage at Antioch of Pisidia. |
