| Obverse description | Laureate head of Titus facing right, depicted with characteristic Flavian portraiture featuring close-cropped hair and a wreath of laurel leaves. The effigy is rendered in relatively high relief against a plain field, typical of Flavian-era bronze coinage. The surrounding legend reads T CAESAR IMPER PONT, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait exhibits the robust, naturalistic style associated with official Flavian imperial portraiture. |

| Reverse description | Titus standing facing, his head turned slightly, holding a long sceptre in his left hand and extending his right hand to rest upon a military trophy erected at left; below the trophy, a captive with hands bound sits facing left in a posture of submission. The composition alludes to Roman military victory, likely commemorating the suppression of the Jewish revolt and the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. The legend TR POT COS VI CENSOR is distributed around the field, with the senatorial authorisation mark S C prominently placed in the exergual area or field. The scene is characteristic of Flavian triumphal iconography celebrating Titus's military achievements. |
