| Obverse description | Bare head of Tiberius facing left, rendered in the restrained classical style characteristic of early imperial portraiture. The emperor is depicted with close-cropped hair and a composed, authoritative expression. The circular Latin legend TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVST IMP VIII runs along the periphery, identifying Tiberius as son of the divine Augustus and noting his eighth imperatorial acclamation. The portrait is set within a plain field with no additional decorative elements. This is a posthumous restitution issue struck under Titus, reproducing the original Tiberian type. |

| Reverse description | Central device consists of a caduceus — the winged staff entwined by two serpents — placed vertically in the field, a symbol of commerce, peace, and imperial authority. The large senatorial decree letters S C (Senatus Consulto) are positioned prominently to either side of the caduceus, as was customary on imperial bronze coinage. The circular peripheral legend IMP T CAES DIVI VESP F AVG REST S C identifies the issuing authority as Titus and records this as a restitution coinage restoring earlier Tiberian asses. The design is boldly struck within a beaded border. The overall composition reflects the standard restitution reverse type employed by Titus in AD 80–81. |
