| Obverse description | Laureate head of Titus facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage of the Flavian period. The portrait displays the emperor's effigy with a laurel wreath, the neck truncation visible at the lower edge. A Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field, identifying the subject as Augustus's son and Caesar. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show typical patination associated with hammered bronze provincial issues. |

| Reverse description | Plain field bearing a multi-line Greek inscription distributed across the die surface, naming the Roman proconsul Marcus Maecius Rufus as the issuing authority. The legend reads in full: ἐπὶ Μάρκου Μαικίου Ρούφου ἀνθυπάτου, invoking the name and title of the governor under whose auspices the coin was struck. No figurative type accompanies the inscription. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with hand-struck provincial bronze coinage of the Flavian era. |
