| Obverse description | Laureate head of Titus facing right, depicted with short hair and a youthful yet authoritative portrait typical of early Flavian imperial coinage. The bust is bare-necked, rendered in confident high relief consistent with provincial mint production at Antioch. The encircling Latin legend reads T CAES IMP TR POT, abbreviated from Titus Caesar Imperator Tribunicia Potestate, distributed around the periphery of the field. A beaded border frames the design. The overall style reflects the somewhat looser engraving characteristic of the eastern provincial mint at Antioch under Vespasian's reign. |

| Reverse description | Turreted and draped bust of Tyche-Fortuna, the personification of the city of Antioch, facing right, wearing a tall mural crown with multiple towers, a distinctive civic emblem identifying the mint city. The portrait is rendered in a bold, somewhat provincial style with strong facial features. The encircling Latin legend ANTIOCHIA identifies the city whose personification is depicted and simultaneously serves as the mint mark. A beaded border surrounds the entire design. This type is characteristic of the civic semisses struck at Antioch under the Flavian emperors to serve local monetary needs. |
