| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Vitellius facing right, rendered in the Alexandrian provincial style with characteristic broad facial features. The portrait is set within a circular field bordered by a partial Greek legend. The flan is irregular with several notches along the rim, and the surfaces show significant wear consistent with circulation and long burial patination. |
