Obverse description Bare-shouldered, laureate bust of Vespasian facing right, rendered with characteristic realism and physiognomic detail typical of Flavian portraiture; a small globe is depicted at the truncation of the neck. The emperor's features — including his broad, fleshy face and strong jaw — are boldly modelled in high relief. The encircling legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan.

Reverse description Two imperial princes, Titus (left) and Domitian (right), stand facing one another in full military dress, each clad in cuirass and paludamentum. Both figures hold a long spear in their outer hand and a parazonium (military dagger) in their inner hand, conveying dynastic martial authority. The senatorial mark of value S C (Senatus Consultum) is placed in the left and right fields respectively, flanking the two standing figures. The reverse legend naming both princes runs around the entire circumference of the coin.
