| Obverse description | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, with characteristically fleshy, mature features rendered in a realistic Flavian portrait style. The emperor's hair is depicted in tight curls beneath the laurel wreath, with short-cropped hair at the nape of the neck. The bust is bare-shouldered and truncated at the base. The encircling legend reads IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG, separated by a dotted border running along the coin's inner edge. |

| Reverse description | Neptune stands facing left in a contrapposto pose, nude but for a chlamys draped over his left shoulder and arm. His left foot rests upon the prow of a ship (aplustre), and he holds a dolphin downward in his outstretched left hand and a long sceptre or trident upright in his raised right hand. The figure is rendered in a classical Hellenistic style. The encircling legend COS ITER TR POT is distributed around the field, framed by a dotted border. |
