| Obverse description | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in high relief with strong portraiture characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage. The emperor's mature, heavily modelled facial features are depicted with naturalistic detail, including a furrowed brow and prominent jaw. A laurel wreath crowns the head, its ties visible behind the neck. The truncation of the bust is bare. The circumferential Latin legend is contained within a beaded border running the full perimeter of the flan. |
