| Obverse description | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in high relief with characteristic fleshy features and prominent neck musculature typical of Flavian portraiture. The laureate wreath is tied with a ribbon whose ends fall behind the neck. The effigy is set within a beaded border, with the encircling legend distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Pax, draped, standing left, extending a winged caduceus in her right hand over a follis (purse) resting upon a tripod to her left, while holding an olive branch in her lowered left hand and resting her left arm against a garlanded column. The composition conveys the Flavian dynastic theme of restored peace and prosperity, framed by a beaded border with the abbreviated legend in the field. |
