Obverse description Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, with a small globe at the point of the neck truncation, rendered in the realistic portraiture style characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage. The emperor's features are depicted with characteristic heaviness — strong jaw, furrowed brow, and close-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath. A circular Latin legend runs along the outer border of the flan. The overall composition reflects the authoritative, unidealized aesthetic favored by the Flavian dynasty.
