| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed laureate bust of Vitellius facing right, with short beard and wearing a paludamentum (military cloak) draped over the left shoulder, rendered in a naturalistic portrait style typical of the Year of the Four Emperors. The emperor's fleshy features and characteristic physiognomy are rendered with individualistic realism. The encircling Latin legend reads A VITELLIVS IMP GERMAN, identifying him as Aulus Vitellius, Imperator and commander of the Germanic legions. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two right hands clasped in a dextrarum iunctio (handshake) motif, symbolizing loyalty and mutual pledge between the emperor and his armies, occupying the central field. The legend FIDES is inscribed in the upper field above the clasped hands, while EXERCITVVM appears in the lower field below, together reading FIDES EXERCITVVM. The composition is deliberately propagandistic, reflecting Vitellius's reliance on the military — particularly the Rhine legions — for his elevation to the principate in AD 69. |
