Titus as Caesar. 69-79 A.D. Rome Mint. 79, to 24 June A.D. (3.10g, 19.8mm, 5h). Obv: T CAESAR IMP VESPASIANVS, laureate head right. Rev: TR POT VII COS VII, quadriga left, with flower. RIC II V1073, BMC V256, RSC336.
This type was a part of the last series of denarii with Titus as Caesar prior to Vespasian’s death. Unlike previous issues, this reverse type was not contemporaneously shared with Vespasian, but the reverse was used by Titus upon becoming emperor. Despite the wear, Titus' beard it clearly evident on this specimen.
