| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Vespasian facing right, with draped shoulder, rendered in the naturalistic portrait style characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage. The effigy displays the emperor's distinctive mature features with a broad forehead and close-cropped hair surmounted by a laurel wreath. The surrounding legend runs clockwise in Latin capital letters within the beaded border of the flan. |

The legend CONCORDIA AVG arcs across the upper field, the whole design enclosed within a beaded border. |
