| Obverse description | A togated citizen, head covered with a pileus (freedman's cap), advances to the right, raising a wreath aloft in his extended right hand. The figure is rendered in the vigorous, somewhat sketchy style characteristic of the civil war coinage of 68–69 AD. The legend LIBERTATI appears in the field, invoking the concept of liberty central to the propaganda of this turbulent period. The composition emphasizes civic ideals and the restoration of freedom, consistent with the iconography of the brief reign associated with this emission. |
