| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Titus facing right, with short curly hair and pronounced facial features rendered in high relief, characteristic of Flavian portraiture. The bust is bare-shouldered and truncated at the neck. A finely modeled laurel wreath crowns the head. The encircling legend runs along the beaded border of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A tetrastyle round temple of Vesta depicted in detailed architectural perspective, set upon a stepped podium. The domed roof is decorated with a lattice pattern and surmounted by a crescent or fire symbol at its apex. Six slender columns are visible across the facade, with a figure of Vesta standing in the interior between the columns. Two smaller standing figures, likely Vestal Virgins or attendants, flank the temple on either side at ground level. The legend VESTA appears in the upper field, divided across the temple structure. |
