| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Vespasian facing right, rendered with characteristic portrait realism typical of Flavian imperial coinage, depicting the emperor's mature physiognomy with pronounced features. The bare neck and strong profile are rendered in high relief against a flat field. A beaded border encircles the design. The imperial titulature legend runs continuously around the periphery in incuse Latin capitals. |

| Reverse description | A Capricorn — the mythological sea-goat emblematic of Augustus and adopted as an imperial symbol — leaps to the left in dynamic pose, its forelegs extended and its fish-tail curling behind. Beneath the creature rests a terrestrial globe, symbolising Roman dominion over the world. The type evokes Augustan dynastic legitimacy claimed by the Flavian dynasty. The field is plain and unadorned, with the abbreviated legend distributed around the periphery within a beaded border. |
