| Obverse description | Central design features two lulav bundles (palm branches bound with myrtle and willow) flanking a single etrog (citron fruit) at center. The composition is arranged symmetrically, with the lulavs rising vertically on either side of the etrog in the field. A Hebrew inscription surrounds the central device, reading from the legend area. The design reflects the iconography of the Jewish festival of Sukkot and the religious symbolism of the Great Revolt coinage. |

| Reverse description | A seven-branched palm tree (date palm) occupies the center of the field, its fronds spreading symmetrically and bearing two hanging clusters of dates. The tree is flanked on either side by a basket filled with date fruit, rendered in a stylized manner characteristic of First Jewish Revolt bronze coinage. A Hebrew inscription encircles the design within the border, serving as the primary legend. The overall composition is bold and emblematic, conveying themes of national identity and religious redemption. |
