| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Vespasian facing right, rendered in the realistic portraiture style characteristic of Flavian-era coinage, depicting the emperor with strong, aged features and a wreath of laurel leaves. The bust is bare-shouldered, with the neck truncation visible at the lower field. A beaded border frames the design, and the imperial titulature legend runs continuously around the periphery. |
