| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare radiate head of Divus Augustus facing left, rendered in the idealized portrait style characteristic of Julio-Claudian coinage, with neatly styled hair crowned by a radiate diadem. The effigy is set within a beaded border, with the encircling legend distributed across the field. This restrike, issued under Titus, consciously evokes the imagery of the deified first emperor as a mark of dynastic legitimacy and pietas. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large, bold eagle stands facing, positioned frontally atop a terrestrial globe, its head turned sharply to the right and its wings fully spread in a heraldic display of imperial power. The bird's plumage is rendered with fine detail, and the globe beneath its talons symbolises Roman dominion over the world. The senatorial mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the field to either side of the eagle's body, while the surrounding legend records Titus's restoration of this Augustan coin type. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border. |

This is a "restitution" issue — coins struck by Titus explicitly in the name of Augustus, reviving a type from nearly a century earlier. Titus produced a substantial series of these restitution bronzes in 80–81 AD, reasserting the Julio-Claudian line's foundational authority at a politically sensitive moment: his reign had begun under the shadow of Vesuvius's eruption in 79 AD and a devastating fire in Rome. Invoking Augustus was a deliberate act of dynastic legitimacy for a Flavian emperor with no Julian blood.
The RIC II.1 revision by Carradice and Buttrey significantly reorganized this series from earlier cataloguing.
