| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Titi facing right, her hair elaborately arranged with tresses bundled and piled high at the front and gathered into a small bun at the nape; a pellet is present below the bust truncation. The portrait reflects the refined Flavian court style characteristic of Domitianic-era coinage. The surrounding legend identifies her as Augusta and daughter of the deified Titus. |

| Reverse description | Vesta, goddess of the hearth, seated left on a high-backed throne, rendered in a calm, hieratic pose befitting her sacred status. She extends her right hand forward holding a palladium — the small cult image of Pallas Athena — while her left hand rests upon a long transverse sceptre. The reverse legend VESTA appears prominently in the field, identifying the divinity. The composition evokes the religious authority and dynastic piety promoted under Domitian. |
