    I am having trouble telling if this is Vespasian or Titus (although I lean towards Titus). What do you think?
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Any chance you could post a larger photo that's less blurry? And one of the reverse, too? It's hard to tell from the photo you posted.

    I feel like I can see laureate ties at the back of the big round head. maybe 12-13mm judging by it's size in relation to the cardboard 2x2 circle. It's pretty small to be a Semis or Quadrans—or anything imperial for that matter really— but it has a decent curved obv legend... though that legend is very crowded and off the flan so maybe the flan was meant to be more like 15mm.
