| Obverse description | Laureate head of Titus as Caesar facing right, rendered in high relief with naturalistic portraiture characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage. The neck is bare, and the laureate wreath is depicted with fine detail. The encircling legend runs along the periphery of the flan, partially visible due to the irregular striking. The portrait exhibits the robust, fleshy facial features associated with Flavian dynastic portraiture. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Aequitas (Equity) stands draped in full-length robes, facing left, in a composed contrapposto pose. She holds a set of scales in her raised right hand, symbolizing fairness and just measure, and a long vertical rod or scepter in her lowered left hand. The reverse legend identifies the type and records the senatorial authorization of the issue. The design is typical of the Flavian bronze series, emphasizing civic virtues promoted under the new dynasty. The exergue and field are plain. |
