| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Vespasian facing right, with strongly modelled facial features characteristic of Flavian portraiture, including a broad forehead, prominent brow, and naturalistic musculature about the neck and shoulders. The bust is draped, with the paludamentum visible at the left shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP CAES VESPAS AVG, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES VESPAS AVG (Translation: Imperator Caesar Vespasianus Augustus. Supreme commander (Imperator) Caesar Vespasian, emperor (Augustus).) |
| Reverse description | Draped bust of a female personification, turreted, facing right, rendered in a style consistent with early Flavian coinage. The turreted crown identifies the figure as an allegory of Pax or a civic deity representing world peace and imperial order. Fine drapery folds are visible at the shoulder, and the legend PACI ORB TERR AVG encircles the field, affirming the Augustan peace across the orbis terrarum. |
