| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Vitellius facing right, draped at the shoulder, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of Julio-Claudian-era portraiture. The emperor's fleshy facial features are depicted with individualistic realism, including a prominent chin and thick neck. A laurel wreath crowns the head. The encircling Latin legend runs clockwise along the beaded border of the coin's field. |
