Obverse description Laureate head of Titus facing right, depicted as Caesar under Vespasian, rendered in the typical Flavian portrait style with short hair and a wreath of laurel leaves. The effigy shows the prince in a slightly draped bust, with fine facial features characteristic of early Flavian die engraving. The encircling Latin legend runs along the outer rim of the flan. The overall strike is somewhat irregular, consistent with hammered production of the period.

Reverse description The goddess Victoria stands in full figure to the right atop the prow of a warship (rostrum), symbolising Roman naval supremacy and military triumph. She holds a laurel wreath extended in her right hand and a long palm branch in her left, both attributes emblematic of victory. Her wings are spread prominently behind her, rendered with detailed feather lines visible despite surface wear. The senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanks the central type, and the legend VICTORIA AVGVST encircles the design along the periphery of the flan.
