| Beschrijving keerzijde | The winged goddess Victoria seated left on a throne or chair, her wings spread behind her. In her right hand she holds a laurel wreath extended forward, and in her left hand she holds a long palm branch resting against her shoulder. The figure is rendered in a graceful classical style consistent with Flavian reverse types. The legend VICTORIA AVGVSTI encircles the field, proclaiming the victory of the emperor. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The quinarius was already an anachronism by the Flavian period — the denomination had seen almost no regular production for over a century before occasional issues resumed under the emperors. Vespasian's decision to strike them likely reflects a deliberate archaizing policy, invoking Republican monetary tradition to shore up the legitimacy of a dynasty that had come to power through civil war rather than inheritance.
RIC II.1 801 is a scarce type. The VICTORIA AVGVSTI reverse connects directly to Vespasian's military victories in Judaea, the campaign that made his imperial bid credible in 69 AD.
