Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate bare bust of Emperor Vitellius facing right, with a globe depicted at the base of the neck truncation, a characteristic device on this issue signifying dominion over the world. The emperor's fleshy features are rendered with individualistic realism typical of Julio-Claudian and Flavian portraiture. The circumferential Latin legend runs along the outer rim of the field. The overall style reflects the hurried but competent die-cutting of the Year of the Four Emperors coinage.

Beschrijving keerzijde The god Mars, helmeted and depicted semi-nude wearing only a military cloak (paludamentum) billowing behind him, strides forcefully to the left in a dynamic advancing pose. In his raised right hand he carries a spear, while his left hand holds an aquila (legionary eagle standard) and a vexillum (military banner), powerful symbols of Roman military authority and unity. The reverse type alludes directly to the army's role in proclaiming Vitellius emperor during the Year of the Four Emperors. The circumferential legend CONSENSVS EXERCITVVM frames the figure, emphasizing the military consensus that underpinned his claim to power.
