| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Vespasian facing right, depicted with aegis or paludamentum (military cloak) at the shoulder, rendered in the realistic portraiture style characteristic of Flavian coinage. The emperor's mature features — strong jaw, prominent brow, and close-cropped hair beneath a laurel wreath — are rendered with bold relief. The circular Latin legend runs from lower left to lower right around the bust, interrupted at the base. The field shows a patinated bronze surface consistent with authentic Flavian sestertii of the early 70s AD. |
