Obverse description Bare-headed laureate bust of Titus facing left, depicted with naturalistic curly hair rendered in the Flavian style. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic strong features — broad brow, prominent nose, and firm jaw — consistent with official Flavian portraiture. The circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading T CAESAR IMP COS V, identifying Titus in his role as Caesar, Imperator, and consul for the fifth time. The field is unadorned, with the bust occupying the central portion of the flan. The coin exhibits a dark green patina typical of Roman imperial bronze issues.

Reverse description Standing figure of Aequitas, the personification of equity and fair measure, depicted full-length facing left in a long stola and palla. In her raised right hand she holds a pair of scales (libra), and in her left hand she holds a long vertical rod or sceptre. The figure is rendered in a classical contrapposto stance, with fine drapery folds visible across the garment. The abbreviated legend AEQVITAS AVGVST flanks the figure to left and right, while the large senatorial mark SC (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the lower field on either side of the figure, authorising the bronze coinage.
