| Obverse lettering | IMP CAESAR VESP AVG (Translation: Imperator Caesar Vespasianus Augustus. Supreme commander (Imperator) Caesar Vespasian, emperor (Augustus).) |
| Reverse description | A winged caduceus shown upright in the center of the field, its staff surmounted by two intertwined serpents whose heads face one another above a central knot, with two outward-curving wings flanking the upper portion. The caduceus, an attribute of Mercury, was employed on Flavian coinage as a symbol of peace, commerce, and imperial authority. The reverse legend is distributed around the periphery of the flan. The overall design is bold and centrally composed, consistent with the engraving conventions of the Rome mint under Vespasian. |
