| Obverse description | Radiate head of Emperor Vespasian facing right, the radiate crown distinguishing the denomination as a dupondius. The portrait displays the characteristic features of Vespasian's mature effigy — broad face, strong jaw, and close-cropped hair — rendered in the restrained, realistic style of Flavian imperial portraiture. The circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading continuously around the field. The coin exhibits a heavy green patina consistent with long burial, partially obscuring the fine engraving detail. |
