| Obverse description | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of early Flavian portraiture, with strongly modelled features including a prominent brow and firm jaw. The bust is bare-shouldered (nude), presented in the traditional imperial manner. A beaded border surrounds the type. The circular Latin legend runs clockwise from the lower left. |

| Reverse description | Two togate male figures — identified as Titus (left) and Domitian (right) — standing facing one another on a low platform or base, each raising one arm in a gesture of salutation or address. Between them stands a tall military standard or trophy. The scene celebrates the dynastic succession and the designation of Vespasian's sons as heirs. The legend is distributed around the periphery in Latin capitals within a beaded border, with S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the figures in the field. |
