| Reverse description | The reverse features the large senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consulto) prominently displayed in the central field, with the letters rendered in bold relief. A continuous circular legend surrounds the S C, reading IMP T CAES DIVI VESP F AVG P M TR P P P COS VIII RESTITVIT, identifying Titus as the restorer of this earlier Tiberian issue. The overall design is characteristic of the restitution coinage struck under Titus in AD 80–81, reviving Republican-era senatorial monetary authority symbolized by the S C mark. |

This as belongs to a restitution series issued by Titus in 80–81 AD, restruck in the name of his father Vespasian as a deliberate act of dynastic piety. The practice of restitution coinage — reviving earlier types under a new emperor's authority — was as much political as commemorative, reinforcing the legitimacy of the Flavian line at a moment when Titus had only just assumed power. His reign lasted barely two years, cut short in 81 AD, making his own issues relatively scarce. The RESTITVIT legend makes the attribution unambiguous.
