| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Vespasian facing right, portrayed with characteristic mature physiognomy. The Greek legend surrounds the effigy in the field, reading ΑΥΤΟΚΡΑ ΟΥΕϹΠΑϹΙ ΚΑΙϹΑΡΙ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΩ, identifying the emperor as Autocrator (imperator) Vespasian Caesar Augustus. A beaded border frames the entire design. The style is consistent with provincial Flavian-era civic coinage of the eastern Mediterranean, rendered with bold, high-relief die-work typical of Caesarea Paneas issues. |

| Additional information |
This bronze was struck at Caesarea Paneas in regnal year 27 of Agrippa II — the last of the Herodian client kings, who had sided openly with Rome during the Jewish revolt of 66–70 AD. Agrippa's loyalty was rewarded with territorial expansion and the right to continue issuing civic coinage, an unusual privilege in the post-war reorganization of Judaea. Domitian appears here as Caesar, not yet emperor; Vespasian would not die until 79 AD. The pairing of a Roman heir with a client king's era dating places this squarely in the uneasy administrative settlement that followed the destruction of Jerusalem.
