| Obverse description | Bare-necked laureate bust of Emperor Vitellius facing right, portrayed with fleshy, naturalistic features characteristic of Flavian-era portraiture. The emperor's hair is rendered in short, tightly grouped locks beneath the laurel wreath, with ribbons visible at the nape of the neck. The bust is truncated at the shoulder and set within a beaded border. The encircling legend in Latin capital letters identifies the emperor with his full imperial titulature. |
