| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Titus facing right, rendered in fine high relief with characteristic portraiture of the Flavian dynasty. The emperor's features are boldly modeled, with curly hair beneath the laurel wreath. The surrounding legend, distributed around the circumference between an inner border and an outer beaded border, reads IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M, identifying Titus in his full imperial titulature. |

| Reverse description | A cuirassed elephant strides to the left across a plain exergue, rendered in fine engraved detail with elaborately depicted armour and harness. The animal's raised trunk and deliberate gait convey a sense of imperial power; the imagery likely alludes to the triumphal procession following the Jewish War or to the Flavian dynasty's use of elephants as symbols of virtue and eternity. The reverse legend TR P IX IMP XV COS VIII P P is distributed around the periphery within a beaded border, recording Titus's tribunician, imperatorial, and consular honours for the year AD 80. |
