Obverse description Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, with a globe positioned at the truncation of the neck, a detail alluding to imperial dominion over the world. The portrait is rendered in the robust, realistic style characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage, conveying the emperor's mature, authoritative features. The encircling legend runs from lower left, interrupted at the base by the globe device. The field shows the slightly irregular flan typical of hammered large bronze coinage of this period.
