| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Titus facing right, depicted with a draped shoulder, rendered in the vigorous portrait style characteristic of early Flavian coinage. The effigy displays the strong facial features associated with Titus, son of Vespasian, with the laurel wreath denoting imperial dignity. The circumferential legend, incuse in relief against the field, reads T CAES IMP PON TR P COS II CENS, distributed around the bust. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, typical of hammered bronze production at the Rome mint during the Flavian period. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Aequitas stands in full figure facing left at centre, rendered in a draped, graceful pose characteristic of Flavian allegorical types. She holds a pair of scales (libra) in her extended right hand, symbolising fair measure and equitable governance, while her left hand rests on a long vertical sceptre or rod. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is placed prominently in the lower field to either side of the figure. The surrounding legend AEQVITAS AVGVSTI runs along the periphery, and the broad, slightly irregular bronze flan reflects standard hammered production of the Rome mint circa AD 73. |
