| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Vespasian facing right, draped over the left shoulder, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of Flavian portraiture. The emperor's distinctive physiognomy — broad forehead, strong jaw, and fleshy neck — is captured with naturalistic precision. The laurel wreath, symbol of imperial and military triumph, crowns the head. The encircling Latin legend runs from left to right around the periphery of the flan. The coin's surface shows an olive-green patina consistent with extended burial, with the portrait retaining strong relief despite surface wear. |
