| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate or laureate bust of Emperor Vitellius facing right, portrayed with characteristic heavy jowls and fleshy features typical of his numismatic iconography. The effigy is rendered in high relief with the head slightly draped at the shoulder. A beaded border frames the design. The encircling Latin legend reads A VITELLIVS GERMAN IMP AVG P M TR P, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vitellius reigned for less than a year — April to December 69 AD, the so-called Year of the Four Emperors — before his forces collapsed against Vespasian's advancing legions and he was dragged through Rome and killed near the Gemonian stairs. The PAX AVGVSTI type was a deliberate propaganda move issued early in his reign to project legitimacy and stability he never actually achieved.
RIC I 147 is scarce relative to his longer-lived contemporaries, simply because the mint had so little time to work.
