| Obverse description | Laureate head of Titus facing right, rendered in high relief with fine engraving typical of Flavian imperial portraiture. The portrait depicts the future emperor with short curly hair surmounted by a laurel wreath, a closely cropped beard, and strongly modeled facial features. The circular legend surrounds the effigy, running from lower left to upper right along the coin's periphery. The flan is slightly irregular in shape, consistent with hand-struck Roman silver coinage of the Vespasianic period. |

| Obverse lettering | T CAESAR IMP VESPASIAN (Translation: Titus Caesar Imperator Vespasianus. Titus, Caesar, supreme commander (Imperator), Vespasianus.) |
| Reverse description | The personification of Securitas (Security) is depicted seated left, bare to the waist, her feet resting upon a footstool. She leans forward in a relaxed, contemplative pose with her head supported by her raised right arm, a classical artistic convention denoting tranquility and assured protection. The reverse legend encircles the central figure, recording Titus's priestly and magisterial titles. The composition reflects the Flavian dynasty's propagandistic emphasis on stability and imperial security. |
