| Beschrijving keerzijde | A draped female figure, identified as Concordia (or Ceres in some interpretations), seated left on a throne with ornate legs, holding a patera in her extended right hand and a sceptre or cornucopiae in her left. She is depicted in long flowing robes rendered with fine drapery lines. The legend CONCORDIA AVG encircles the design, distributed across the upper field on either side of the seated figure. The composition is characteristic of early Flavian reverse types, evoking imperial harmony and divine favour. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vespasian struck heavily in his first year precisely because he needed to. The civil war of 69 AD — four emperors, two sacks of the Capitol — had shattered public confidence in Roman institutional continuity. Issues invoking Concordia were deliberate political instruments, projecting the stability of the new Flavian regime to an audience that had watched the Praetorian Guard auction off the empire months earlier.
The RPC II #804 reference places this among the eastern mint productions, likely Antioch or a traveling military mint serving Vespasian's forces before his return to Rome in 70 AD.
