| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Titus facing right, rendered in bold high relief with characteristic Flavian portraiture. The legend encircles the effigy in a continuous band around the coin's periphery. The portrait displays the prince's curly hair beneath a laurel wreath, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The engraving reflects the accomplished workshop style of the Rome mint under Vespasian's reign. |

| Reverse description | Titus standing erect in a four-horse triumphal chariot (quadriga) advancing to the right, holding a laurel branch in his right hand and a long sceptre in his left. The quadriga is depicted with considerable detail, including the spoked wheel visible at left and the four horses shown in vigorous motion. The large senatorial mark of value S·C appears prominently in the lower exergual field, flanking the chariot. The composition celebrates the Flavian triumph over Judaea and conveys imperial power and divine favour. |
