| Obverse description | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in high relief with strong, realistic portraiture characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage. The emperor's mature features are depicted with pronounced brow, aquiline nose, and a sturdy neck, reflecting the naturalistic style favored under the Flavian dynasty. A small aegis or paludamentum drape is visible at the base of the bust. The encircling legend reads IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M TR P P P COS III, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |
