| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in a bold, naturalistic style characteristic of Flavian portraiture, with clearly articulated facial features including a broad brow, prominent cheekbones, and a firm jaw. The bust is truncated at the shoulder and draped. The surrounding legend reads IMP CAES VESP AVG P M, distributed around the periphery of the flan in well-spaced Roman capital letters. The overall execution reflects the high-relief die-cutting typical of Julio-Claudian and early Flavian aurei struck at the Rome mint. |

| Opschrift voorzijde | IMP CAES VESP AVG P M (Translation: Imperator Caesar Vespasianus Augustus Pontifex Maximus. Supreme commander (Imperator) Caesar Vespasian, emperor (Augustus), high priest.) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Neptune standing left in a commanding pose, his left foot raised and resting upon a globe, symbolising Roman mastery of the seas. In his right hand he holds an acrostolium (a carved prow ornament), referencing naval victory, while his left hand supports a long sceptre. The god is depicted nude or semi-draped in the Hellenistic tradition. The reverse legend NEP RED, an abbreviation of Neptuno Reduci, appears in the field, alluding to the safe return of the emperor by sea — a theme of particular relevance following Vespasian's sea voyage from Alexandria to Rome in AD 70. |
