| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large, convex shield (clipeus) depicted in three-quarter view occupies the central field, rendered in high relief. The shield is encircled by a laurel wreath composed of berries and leaves, tied at the base. The abbreviated legend AVG appears above or within the wreath, referencing the imperial title Augustus. The composition is emblematic of Roman military virtue and imperial authority, consistent with reverse types struck at Rome in AD 69–70. The overall style and execution are typical of early Flavian hammered silver coinage. |

Vespasian struck heavily in his accession year to pay the legions that had just fought a civil war on his behalf — the Year of the Four Emperors had burned through imperial reserves at a pace the treasury could barely sustain. These early issues, produced before the Flavian administration had fully consolidated minting operations, show considerable variation in style and fabric as multiple workshops scrambled to meet military pay demands.
RIC 1393 belongs to the first coherent Flavian coinage series from Rome, dated to the opening months of his reign when legitimacy still needed asserting in silver.
