| Obverse description | Laureate head of Titus facing right, depicted as Caesar under his father Vespasian, with a draped bust truncated at the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the naturalistic Flavian style, conveying youthful authority. The encircling Latin legend reads T CAES IMP PON TR P COS II CENS, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The die work shows characteristic Flavian craftsmanship, with the laurel wreath clearly distinguishable despite surface wear. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hammered bronze production of the early Flavian period. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Spes (Hope) advancing left, rendered in a long chiton, raising the hem of her garment with her left hand and extending a flower upward in her right hand. The personification is characteristic of Flavian bronze coinage iconography, conveying dynastic optimism. The large senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanks the figure in the left and right fields respectively. The reverse field is heavily worn with pitting consistent with prolonged circulation, yet the main design elements remain discernible. No exergue inscription is present. |
