| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Titus facing right, rendered in high relief with characteristic Flavian portraiture. The effigy displays a strong, naturalistic profile with the laureate wreath rendered in fine detail atop curly hair. A paludamentum (military cloak) is visible at the shoulder, lending an air of imperial authority. The encircling legend is set within a beaded border, the lettering incuse and clearly defined against the slightly convex field. |

| Reverse description | A bound captive kneels to the right in a posture of subjugation, hands tied behind the back, positioned before a Roman trophy consisting of a helmet, cuirass, crossed spears, a round shield, and a parazonium. The composition is a classic Flavian triumphal type commemorating the Judaean conquest. The trophy elements are rendered with precision, emphasizing Roman martial dominance. The surrounding legend, contained within a beaded border, records Titus's tribunician power and consular titles. |
