| Obverse description | Laureate head of Titus facing right, with a draped bust, depicted as a young prince under his father Vespasian's reign. The portrait displays finely engraved facial features characteristic of Flavian dynastic coinage. A beaded border frames the coin's irregular flan. The legend surrounds the effigy in a continuous arc, identifying Titus by his imperial titles. The style reflects the skilled die-cutting of the Rome Mint in the Flavian period. |

| Reverse description | A quadriga — a four-horse chariot — advances to the left, rendered in fine relief with detailed musculature on the horses and a single wheel visible beneath the car. Atop the chariot a modius (grain measure) is depicted, an emblematic symbol of imperial munificence and grain supply. The composition is dynamic, with the horses shown in animated stride. The legend is distributed across the upper field, divided on either side of the central motif. A beaded border surrounds the reverse field. |
