| Aversbeschreibung | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in confident high relief with strong physiognomic detail characteristic of Flavian portraiture. The emperor's mature features — including a broad brow, pronounced jaw, and close-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath — convey authority and realism. A beaded border frames the design. The surrounding legend, reading from lower left, encircles the portrait and records Vespasian's full titulature. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A winged female figure, identified as Pax-Nemesis, strides to the left in dynamic pose, her wings fully spread behind her. She holds a caduceus downward in her right hand, pointing toward a serpent coiling at her feet, a well-attested Nemesis iconographic attribute symbolising the subjugation of enemies. The composition conveys imperial peace enforced through divine retribution. The reverse legend PACI AVGVSTI is distributed across the upper field, flanked by the figure. A beaded border encloses the design. |

Struck in 72 AD, the year after Vespasian celebrated his triumph over Judaea alongside Titus — the procession that paraded the Menorah and sacred vessels of the Jerusalem Temple through Rome. The PACI AVGVSTI legend was no accident: Vespasian used the Jewish War's suppression as the ideological cornerstone of his dynasty's legitimacy, having seized power in 69 AD during the chaos of the Year of the Four Emperors.
The pairing of Pax with Nemesis on this type is pointed — Nemesis as divine retribution visited upon Rome's enemies, Pax as the reward that follows. RIC II.1 1180 is a relatively scarce variant within the Vespasianic aurei series.
