| Obverse description | Laureate head of Vespasian facing left, rendered in high relief with naturalistic portrait features characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage. The emperor's effigy displays a mature, slightly fleshy countenance with short hair beneath the laurel wreath, a hallmark of his imperial dignity. The encircling legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan. The portrait is executed in the direct, unidealized style favored during the Flavian dynasty, emphasizing Vespasian's aged and authoritative visage. |
