We also need to see the reverse. Try shooting a better photo. If your camera has a macro setting, try that.

It looks like it is a Vespasian, but the image is so poor, it could also be a Titus. Post a better image of both front and back.

I am sure you can get a photo of the reverse for us to see. Maybe it is the light but the coin looks "orangey". I hope it has not got the letters WRL (Westair Reproductions Limited) on the obverse or reverse side.  Edited by Masis

The legend appears to say IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS which would make it Vespasian not Titus (T CAESAR IMP VESPASIANVS). It is probably trying to be RIC99a. This coin is faked alot. The coin doesn't look good to me but then again the picture quality is too poor to tell for sure. Also need to see the reverse.

The reverse must be quite worn indeed if it just has an S. It either had cos on the left with a number on the right or S on the left and C on the right.
I was not condeming your coin simply stating that this type is commonly faked. Better pics and the reverse is needed. The heavy dark tone is kind of suspicous . Is there a reason you know without doubt it is authentic?

It is quite possibly something like this one but we need better images and of both sides:-  Martin |

I had previously only looked at this post on a phone. I'm on a computer now and can see it a bit better.
Still agree that we need better images but it is most likely the coin above.
IMP CAESAR VESPASIAN AVG COS IIII / Eagle on Globe SC in field. RIC 1202
