| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Titus facing right, with two corn-ears depicted in the field before the portrait. The legend ΑΥΤΟ Τ ΓΕΡ ΚΑΙ runs around the effigy. The portraiture reflects the provincial Greek civic coinage style of Mysia under the Flavian dynasty. |

| Additional information |
Germe was a minor Mysian city whose civic coinage output was modest even by provincial standards. This piece belongs to a small group of issues honoring Domitian as Caesar — struck while Titus held the purple — a politically careful gesture that acknowledged the heir apparent without overcommitting, given the fraternal tensions that were an open secret in Rome by 79 AD.
