| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG COS III (Translation: Imperator Caesar Vespasianus Augustus, Consul Tertium. Supreme commander (Imperator) Caesar Vespasian, emperor (Augustus), consul for the third time.) |
| Reverse description | The personification of Libertas stands facing left in the central field, draped in a flowing stola, holding a pileus (liberty cap) in her right hand and a long sceptre or staff in her left. The figure is rendered in a dignified, upright stance typical of Flavian allegorical types. The legend LIBERTAS PVBLICA is distributed across the field, with the large senatorial mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the figure to either side, affirming senatorial authorization of the bronze coinage. A beaded border encircles the design. The reverse carries a green and brown patina with areas of verdigris consistent with the coin's age and burial history. |
