| Obverse description | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in a realistic, veristic portrait style characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage. The emperor's mature, strongly modelled features — including a broad brow, prominent cheekbones, and firm jaw — are rendered with considerable individualism. The laurel wreath, symbol of imperial and military triumph, is clearly delineated around the crown of the head. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG COS III, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |
