Obverse description Draped bust of Julia Titi facing right, her distinctive coiffure prominently rendered with hair piled high in an elaborate tiered arrangement above the forehead and gathered into a bun at the nape, a celebrated Flavian-era fashion. The effigy is portrayed in fine relief with naturalistic drapery folds visible at the shoulder. The encircling legend names her as Augusta and daughter of Imperator Titus, running along the periphery of the flan.

Reverse description The goddess Vesta is depicted enthroned and seated left upon an ornate chair, her figure fully draped in flowing robes rendered with careful attention to fabric detail. In her extended right hand she holds the palladium — the sacred cult statue of Pallas Athena — and in her left hand she grasps a long transverse sceptre. The reverse legend VESTA appears in the exergue below the throne, flanked by the senatorial authority marks S and C in the field to either side. A dotted border frames the design along the coin's periphery.
