| Obverse description | Laureate head of Vespasian facing left, rendered in a realistic, somewhat austere portrait style typical of Flavian imperial coinage. The emperor's features are boldly modeled with a prominent brow, broad nose, and short-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath. The bust is bare, truncated at the neck, and positioned centrally within a beaded border. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP CAES VESP AVG P M T P COS IIII CENS, distributed around the full circumference of the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Aequitas, the personification of equity and fair measure, depicted facing left in draped attire. She extends her right hand forward, holding a pair of scales (balance), while her left hand holds a long vertical sceptre or rod. The figure is rendered in a classical style with flowing robes. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is placed in the field to either side of the figure, and the encircling legend AEQVITAS AVGVST appears around the periphery within a beaded border. |
