| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Emperor Vitellius facing left, depicted with a heavy, fleshy neck and characteristic portraiture; a small globe appears at the truncation of the neck. The effigy is rendered in the naturalistic style typical of Julio-Claudian imperial coinage, with the emperor shown in imperial drapery visible at the shoulder. The encircling legend runs along the periphery of the flan in bold Roman capitals. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Clementia, draped and seated to the left upon a throne, holding an olive branch in her extended right hand and a long sceptre in her left. The figure is rendered in a classical style with flowing garments, embodying the imperial virtue of clemency. The legend is divided around the field, with the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently placed in the lower field, affirming this as a senatorially authorized bronze issue. |
