| Obverse description | Radiate bust of Emperor Vespasian facing right, rendered in the characteristic Flavian portrait style with strong, individualized facial features. The legend encircles the effigy, running clockwise around the periphery of the flan. The radiate crown, a conventional attribute of the dupondius denomination, distinguishes this issue from the laureate sestertius. The portrait is executed in high relief with a beaded border visible at the coin's edge. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Concordia seated left on a throne or chair, draped in flowing robes, extending a patera in her right hand and cradling a cornucopiae in her left arm, symbolizing harmony and abundance. The legend CONCORDIA AVGVSTI arcs around the upper field, proclaiming imperial concord, while the senatorial authorization mark S C appears in the lower exergual area, flanking the throne. The figure is rendered in the classical Roman allegorical tradition, with the seat depicted as a high-backed chair with visible legs. The overall composition is well-centered despite the characteristic irregularity of the hammered flan. |
