| Obverse description | Laureate head of Vespasian facing left, rendered in bold high relief with characteristically realistic portraiture typical of Flavian numismatic art. The emperor's mature, fleshy features — including a broad brow, strong jaw, and closely cropped hair — are depicted with unidealized naturalism. A laurel wreath encircles the head, denoting imperial and military honor. The circular legend runs clockwise around the portrait within a beaded border, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |
