| Obverse description | Laureate head of Titus facing right, rendered in high relief with detailed portraiture characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage. The emperor's features are depicted with a strong jaw and close-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath, indicative of his imperial dignity. The circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, running along the periphery of the flan. The fields show the typical irregular surface associated with hammered provincial silver coinage of the eastern mint tradition. |

| Reverse description | A legionary eagle (aquila) displayed erect between two military standards; the standard to the left is surmounted by a hand (manus), and the standard to the right bears a vexillum (banner). The composition is a well-established type referencing Roman military power and legionary loyalty. No inscription or legend appears in the field or exergue, leaving the imagery as the sole reverse design element. The type is closely associated with the eastern cistophoric tradition and Flavian military commemoration. |
