| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Emperor Vespasian facing right, with draped shoulders, depicted in the characteristic realistic portrait style of Flavian imperial coinage. The effigy shows the emperor's strong, mature features with a broad forehead and short neck. The surrounding legend reads IMP CAESAR VESPAS AVG in Latin characters distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | The winged goddess Victory advancing to the left, rendered in flowing robes, her right hand extending a wreath and her left arm bearing a long palm branch resting against her shoulder — standard iconographic attributes associated with imperial victory imagery. The figure is shown in dynamic motion with drapery suggested beneath the wings. The surrounding field legend PACI AVGVSTAE references the Augustan Peace proclaimed under Vespasian following the civil wars of 69 AD. |
