| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Divus Vespasianus facing right, rendered in bold high relief with draped shoulders, the portrait capturing the emperor's characteristic broad, fleshy features and close-cropped hair surmounted by a laurel wreath. The circumferential legend reads DIVVS AVGVSTVS VESPASIANVS, running around the full periphery of the flan within a border. This posthumous effigy was struck under Titus as part of his deification coinage honoring his father. The engraving style is typical of the Rome mint under the Flavian dynasty, with confident, naturalistic portraiture. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Aequitas, goddess of equity and fair dealing, depicted standing in full figure facing left, draped in a long chiton and himation. She holds a pair of scales in her extended left hand and a long vertical rod or measuring staff in her right hand, both attributes emblematic of fairness and commercial justice. The surrounding legend AEQVITAS AVGVST is distributed around the upper field, with the senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the figure in the lower field on either side. A dotted border frames the entire reverse design. |
