| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Titi facing right, her elaborate coiffure arranged in a distinctive tiered arrangement of tight curls rising high above the forehead, with the remaining hair drawn back and gathered into a bun at the nape of the neck. The effigy is rendered in fine relief characteristic of Flavian portraiture, capturing the idealized features of the empress. The encircling legend identifies her as Augusta and daughter of the Emperor Titus. |

| Reverse description | Vesta, the goddess of the hearth, seated left on a high-backed throne, rendered in draped attire in the classical style. She holds a palladium — a small standing figure of Pallas Athena — in her extended right hand, and grasps a long transverse sceptre in her left. The letters S and C (Senatus Consultum) appear prominently in the field to either side of the seated figure, authorizing the bronze issue by decree of the Senate. The legend VESTA is inscribed in the exergue below. |
