| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Vitellius facing right, rendered with a fleshy, naturalistic portrait characteristic of Julio-Claudian and Flavian era coinage. The emperor's heavy jowls and thick neck are rendered with notable realism, reflecting the individualized portraiture tradition of Roman Imperial coinage. A laurel wreath crowns the head, symbolizing imperial and military authority. The circular legend surrounds the bust, running from lower left to upper right along the coin's periphery. |
