Obverse description Bare head of Germanicus facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair curling over the brow and temples. The portrait is unadorned and idealized in the classical Roman manner, set against a flat field with a beaded border encircling the entire obverse. The circular legend runs along the periphery, identifying the subject by name and lineage. The die engraving is crisp and confident, consistent with Flavian-era restitution coinage produced under Titus.

Reverse description The reverse features the large monogram S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently displayed in the center of the field, indicating authorization by the Roman Senate. Surrounding the central motif, a continuous circular legend fills the field between the S C and the beaded border, recording the full titulature of the restituting emperor Titus. The lettering is bold and well-spaced, characteristic of official Flavian bronze coinage. The restitution inscription commemorates Titus's act of restoring this earlier Julio-Claudian coin type to circulation.
