| Obverse description | Bare radiate head of Divus Vespasian facing right, rendered in the idealized posthumous portrait style typical of consecratio coinage issued under Titus. The effigy displays the characteristic features of the deified emperor, with the radiate crown signifying his divine status. The encircling Latin legend reads DIVVS AVGVSTVS VESPASIANVS, running around the full circumference of the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Pax stands facing left in a relaxed contrapposto pose, her drapery rendered in flowing classical style. She rests with her right arm extended, holding a caduceus, while her left hand holds an olive branch. A column supports her weight at her side, serving as an architectural element grounding the composition. The senatorial authorization monogram S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the field, flanking the central figure, with the legend PAX AVGVST disposed around the periphery. |
