As - Vespasian VICTORIA AVGVST S C, Victory

Vespasian struck heavily propagandistic coinage throughout the 70s AD to legitimize a dynasty founded by military coup rather than hereditary right. The VICTORIA AVGVST legend on bronzes of this period tied his authority directly to the Jewish War — the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD was the single most publicized military achievement of his reign, and Victory types were deliberately sustained across years of issue to keep that association alive in daily circulation.

RIC II.1 733 is a sestertius-weight as from 74 AD, a year in which Vespasian held his fifth consulship alongside Titus.
