| Obverse description | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in bold high relief with characteristically realistic Flavian portraiture. The emperor's mature, strong-featured effigy displays a short laurel wreath crowning the head, with the neck truncation visible at the coin's lower field. The encircling Latin legend runs along the full periphery of the flan, naming Vespasian's imperial titles. |
