| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Vespasian facing right, with bare neck and slight drapery visible at the shoulder truncation, rendered in the naturalistic Flavian portraiture style characteristic of the early 70s AD. The imperial effigy displays the emperor's distinctive physiognomy — a broad, fleshy face with strong jaw — consistent with official Vespasianic iconography. The encircling Latin legend runs clockwise around the obverse field, separated from the portrait by a narrow inner border. |
