| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate bust of Emperor Vespasian facing right, with a small globe at the point of the neck truncation, rendered in the realist portraiture tradition characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage. The emperor's effigy displays the distinctive facial features associated with Vespasian — a broad, strong-jawed visage with closely cropped hair surmounted by the radiate crown, an attribute denoting the dupondius denomination. The surrounding Latin legend runs clockwise along the periphery of the flan, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vespasian's later orichalcum issues of 77–78 AD fall within the final stretch of his reign, just before his death in June 79 AD, and were struck at Rome during a period of intensive building activity funded largely by the spoils of Judaea. The Flavian fiscal machine was running hard: revenue from the sack of Jerusalem in 70 AD was still being funneled into infrastructure, including the Colosseum, which was under active construction at precisely this moment.
RIC II.1 1224 is among the later die pairings of the series — not a rare coin, but one whose production context carries more weight than its survival rate suggests.
