| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Vespasian facing left, rendered with characteristically realistic Flavian portraiture emphasizing the emperor's strong, aged features. The effigy shows the neck and upper shoulder in profile, with the laurel wreath clearly articulated across the brow. The surrounding circular legend reads IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M TR P P P COS VIIII, interrupted by dots used as interpuncts, running clockwise around the beaded border of the flan. |
