| Beschrijving keerzijde | Victoria, the personification of Victory, seated right on a low throne or cuirass, her wings spread prominently behind her. She holds a patera in her extended right hand and a palm branch in her left, both attributes emblematic of military triumph and divine favour. The figure is rendered in a graceful, classicising style characteristic of Flavian coinage. The legend VICTORIA AVGVSTI is disposed around the periphery. The flan exhibits a crack consistent with that visible on the obverse, and the field shows light granularity typical of heavily circulated hammered silver. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The quinarius denomination had fallen almost entirely out of active use by the early imperial period, making Vespasian's revival of it — issued from Rome in 74 AD — a deliberate monetary policy choice rather than routine production. Exactly why he struck quinarii at all remains debated; the denomination circulated at half a denarius but was never minted in quantities that suggest broad commercial intent.
RIC II.1 711 is among the scarcer Vespasianic issues precisely because quinarii of this reign were produced in limited runs.
