| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Vespasian facing right, rendered in high relief with characteristically realistic Flavian portraiture emphasizing the emperor's strong facial features, prominent brow, and short-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath. The paludamentum is visible at the truncation, with folds of drapery rendered in fine detail across the left shoulder. The encircling legend runs clockwise within a border of beading, identifying the emperor with his full imperial titulature. |
