| Obverse description | Bare head of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa facing right, depicted wearing a rostral crown — a naval crown adorned with ships' prows — rendered in the restrained, realistic portrait style characteristic of Augustan-era coinage. The effigy is set within the coin field without a border of dots visible in this example, with the encircling legend distributed around the periphery. The portrait conveys the stern, authoritative character associated with Agrippa's celebrated military and naval achievements. This is a posthumous restrike issued under Titus, reproducing the original Agrippan type. |

| Reverse description | Neptune stands facing left in a commanding full-length pose, depicted nude or near-nude in classical divine convention. In his extended right hand he holds a small dolphin, and in his left hand he grasps a long trident, its shaft reaching to the ground. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consulto) is prominently placed in the field to either side of the figure, flanking Neptune at mid-body level. The reverse legend encircles the design, identifying the coin as a restoration issue under the emperor Titus. The composition is bold and well-centred, consistent with Flavian-era bronze production. |
