| Opschrift voorzijde | IMP CAESAR VESPASIAN COS VIIII (Translation: Imperator Caesar Vespasianus Augustus, Consul Nonum. Supreme commander (Imperator) Caesar Vespasian, emperor (Augustus), consul for the ninth time.) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing winged figure of Victoria (Victory) depicted facing left, holding a wreath aloft in her right hand and a palm branch in her left, rendered in the conventional allegorical style of Flavian imperial coinage. The figure is set within an open field, with the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the figure in the left and right fields respectively, affirming the Senate's sanction of the bronze coinage. The reverse legend VICTORIA AVGVST arcs around the upper periphery of the flan. The surface is heavily worn and encrusted with dark patina, obscuring fine details of the drapery and wings, though the overall composition remains identifiable. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vespasian died on June 23rd, 79 AD — the same year this as was struck — making issues from his final regnal year administratively compressed and, in some cases, posthumously attributed. The VICTORIA AVGVST type was part of a sustained propaganda campaign tied to the Jewish War, the suppression of which formed the ideological cornerstone of Flavian dynastic legitimacy from 69 AD onward. Titus, who shared tribunician power with his father in 79, would assume sole rule within weeks of these coins leaving the mint.
