| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Titus facing right, draped on the left shoulder, rendered in high relief in the Flavian portrait style. The emperor is depicted with characteristically strong, naturalistic facial features. The encircling legend reads IMP T CAES DIVI VESP F AVG P M TR P P P COS VIII, recording his full imperial titulature, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait conveys the authoritative gravitas associated with Flavian imperial coinage from the Rome Mint. |

| Reverse description | A tall date palm tree dominates the center of the field, serving as the emblematic symbol of Judaea. To the left stands a Roman soldier in military dress, facing right and resting on a spear or standard, his posture conveying martial dominance. To the right, a captive female figure, personifying Judaea, sits in an attitude of mourning and dejection at the base of the palm tree. The legend IVDAEA CAPTA is distributed across the field in two parts flanking the central composition, and the senatorial authorization mark S C appears in the exergue. The scene is a powerful propagandistic commemoration of the Flavian victory over Judaea, first struck under Vespasian and continued under Titus. |
