| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Vespasian facing right, depicted with a globe at the base of the neck, the emperor's aged and robust features rendered in characteristic Flavian realist style. The obverse legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan. The portrait displays a draped right shoulder and the characteristic physiognomy associated with Vespasian's imperial coinage of the early Flavian period. |

The letters S C (Senatus Consultum) flank the central figure in the field to left and right respectively, denoting senatorial authority over bronze coinage. The reverse legend is disposed around the periphery of the flan. |
