| Reverse description | A heifer or cow stands in profile to the right, rendered in fine naturalistic detail with musculature and surface texture carefully modeled; the animal stands on a ground line formed by the beaded border of the flan. The legend COS VII appears in the upper field above the animal, denoting Vespasian's seventh consulship held in AD 76. The reverse type is associated with the celebration of the Secular Games and the sacrificial rites of Roman state religion. The field is otherwise plain, directing full visual emphasis to the finely executed bovine figure. |
