| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Titus facing left, depicted with short curly hair in the Flavian style, rendered in moderately high relief. The portrait is youthful and naturalistic, consistent with representations of Titus as heir apparent during the reign of Vespasian. The circular Latin legend runs around the periphery of the flan. |

The abbreviated colonial title is inscribed above and below the central type, divided across the field. |
