| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Vitellius facing right, rendered with naturalistic portraiture typical of Julio-Claudian and Flavian-era coinage, with finely detailed hair and laurel wreath. The bust is bare-shouldered and truncated at the neck. The encircling legend runs clockwise from the lower left, reading A VITELLIVS GERMANICVS IMP AVG P M TR P in bold Roman capitals. The portrait conveys the emperor's distinctive heavy features with confident, high-relief modeling characteristic of the Roman mint output during the Year of the Four Emperors. |
