Obverse description Bare-headed and laureate bust of the emperor Titus facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curling hair bound by a laurel wreath tied at the nape with a ribbon; the portrait displays the characteristic Flavian physiognomy with strong, rounded features. The truncation of the bust is bare, with no drapery visible. The encircling Latin legend runs clockwise from the lower left around the full circumference of the coin, framed within a plain border.

Reverse description The personification of Pax (Peace) stands in full figure facing left, draped in a long flowing chiton and himation, rendered in the classical Hellenistic tradition. In her extended right hand she holds an olive branch downward toward the ground, and in her raised left hand she holds a cornucopiae. The large senatorial control marks S and C (Senatus Consulto) flank the figure to left and right respectively in the mid-field, and the reverse legend PAX AVGVST appears in the upper field. The reverse is bordered by a partial beaded inner circle on the right side.
