Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate head of Emperor Vitellius facing right, rendered with characteristic fleshy features and a short beard, the bust truncated at the shoulder. A beaded border frames the design. The surrounding legend reads A VITELLIVS IMP GERMAN, distributed around the periphery of the flan, proclaiming Vitellius as Imperator and conqueror of the Germans. The portrait is executed in the vigorous, naturalistic style typical of Julio-Claudian and Year of the Four Emperors coinage, with carefully delineated hair beneath the laurel wreath.

Opschrift voorzijde A VITELLIVS IMP GERMAN
(Translation: Aulus Vitellius Imperator Germanicus Aulus Vitellius, supreme commander (Imperator) of the Germans.)
Beschrijving keerzijde Mars, the god of war, stands in full figure facing left in a dynamic contrapposto pose, nude save for a crested helmet upon his head. He holds a spear or parazonium in his right hand and rests his left hand upon a shield set on the ground beside him. A military standard or trophy appears behind him in the field. The encircling legend CONSENSVS EXERCITVVM, divided around the periphery within a beaded border, proclaims the united support of the armies for Vitellius, a powerful propagandistic message befitting the tumultuous Year of the Four Emperors.
