| Obverse description | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in bold high relief with characteristically strong, mature facial features typical of Flavian portraiture. The laureate wreath is tied with a ribbon visible at the nape, and the neck is bare. The surrounding legend runs clockwise within a beaded border, beginning at the lower left. |
