| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Titus facing right, with short beard and draped shoulder visible at the bust truncation, rendered in the Flavian portrait style with characteristic fleshy features. The emperor's laureate wreath is depicted in fine detail with individual leaves clearly articulated. A circular Latin legend runs along the full periphery of the obverse field, naming the emperor with his full titulature. The portrait is executed in high relief typical of early Flavian aes coinage struck at Rome. |

The legend PAX AVGVST is inscribed in the upper field around the periphery, while the large senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanks the central figure in the lower field. |
