| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Vespasian facing left, rendered in the naturalistic portrait style characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage, with short hair and a wreath of laurel leaves secured about the brow. The bust is bare-shouldered and truncated at the neck. The encircling legend is incuse-struck in Latin capitals around the periphery of the flan, reading IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG. The portrait conveys the emperor's mature, rugged features with confident authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vespasian's ninth consulship and tenth tribunician power date this issue firmly to 79 AD — the year he died in June, likely of natural causes, making him the first emperor since Augustus to die without violence or forced suicide. Coins struck in this final year of his reign circulated under Titus almost immediately, the transition so orderly that no emergency recoinage was necessary. Ceres had specific political resonance for the Flavians, tied to their promotion of grain supply stability after the civil wars of 69 AD.
