| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Vespasian facing right, depicted with a robust, slightly aged physiognomy characteristic of Flavian portraiture. The emperor's neck and shoulders are bare, the wreath of laurel leaves rendered with fine detail across the crown of the head. The encircling legend runs clockwise in incuse Latin capitals along the beaded border of the flan. |

| Reverse description | The goddess Roma depicted standing to the left, clad in military attire, holding in her extended right hand a small figure of Victory standing on a globe, and in her left hand a long spear or sceptre resting against her shoulder. The figures are rendered in the bold, high-relief style typical of early Flavian coinage. The legend ROMA appears in the upper field, while the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consulto) is placed prominently in the lower field to either side of the central design. |
