Obverse description	Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Titus facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Alexandrian mint. The imperial effigy is encircled by a beaded border, with the Greek imperial titulature legend running around the periphery. The portrait exhibits the typical bold modelling of Flavian-era Alexandrian coinage, with clearly delineated laurel wreath and visible drapery at the shoulder.

Reverse description	Draped bust of Euthenia (personification of Abundance), facing right, wearing a modius or corn-measure headdress, with a star in the field. The regnal date L Γ (Year 3) appears in the field, corresponding to the third year of Titus's reign. The design is enclosed within a beaded border and reflects the Alexandrian tradition of depicting allegorical personifications associated with the fertility and prosperity of Egypt.
