| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Vitellius facing right, rendered in high relief with bold, naturalistic portraiture characteristic of Julio-Claudian and early Flavian-era coinage. The emperor's features are fleshy and well-individualized, with cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath. The surrounding field is plain gold, and the circular Latin legend runs continuously around the periphery of the flan. |
