| Obverse description | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in high relief with strong, naturalistic portraiture characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage. The emperor's features are boldly modelled, with a pronounced brow, firm jaw, and closely cropped hair surmounted by a wreath of laurel. A fillet or ribbon is visible at the nape of the neck. The portrait is set within a beaded border, with the encircling legend distributed evenly around the field. |
