| Obverse description | Radiate or laureate bust of Titus facing right, with a globe positioned at the base of the neck truncation, rendered in the high-relief portrait style characteristic of Flavian imperial coinage. The effigy presents the emperor in his capacity as Caesar and heir apparent, with finely modeled facial features typical of the Vespasianic workshop. The encircling legend, distributed around the full periphery of the flan, records Titus's titulature in abbreviated Latin. The coin exhibits heavy surface corrosion and an irregular flan with crack damage, consistent with prolonged soil deposition. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Pax (Peace) depicted standing to the left in long draped robes, her weight resting against a tall column positioned centrally in the field. In her right hand she holds an olive branch extended forward, while her left hand grasps a caduceus, the herald's staff emblematic of concord and prosperity. The composition is a standard Flavian allegorical type proclaiming imperial peace, with the senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the central figure in the field. The reverse surface is severely worn and corroded, with design elements discernible primarily from the type attribution rather than visual detail. |
