| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Titus facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of the Pergamene conventus. The emperor's effigy displays a laurel wreath crown and drapery over the left shoulder. The Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan, identifying the emperor by his imperial titles. The portrait conveys a naturalistic treatment of the facial features consistent with Flavian-era provincial coinage. |

| Additional information |
Germe was a small Mysian city whose coin output was modest and closely tied to the administrative calendar of the Pergamene conventus. Issues under Titus are rare — his reign lasted barely two years, and provincial mints in this region rarely managed more than a single emission per emperor. The ethnic ΓΕΡΜΗΝΩΝ confirms the civic attribution, distinguishing Germe from the better-documented Lydian city of Germe in the Sardian conventus.
