| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Titus facing right, depicted with a naturalistic portrait in the Roman imperial tradition. The bust is draped, rendered with fine detail characteristic of Flavian die engraving. The encircling legend reads IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M, distributed around the periphery of the flan within a beaded border. The portrait conveys imperial authority through its firm, slightly idealized facial features. The overall composition is well-centered on the irregularly shaped silver flan. |

| Reverse description | A rostral column (columna rostrata) stands erect at the centre of the field, adorned with the prows of captured ships affixed to its shaft, surmounted by a small standing figure, likely representing a naval trophy or Victory. The reverse legend TR P VIIII IMP XIIII COS VII encircles the design within a beaded border, commemorating Titus's imperial titulature. The rostral column is a rare and distinctive type associated with Titus's sole reign, referencing Roman naval and military victories. The die engraving is bold, with the column rendered in relief against a smooth, slightly worn field. The composition is a conscious display of Flavian propaganda celebrating imperial military prowess. |
