| Reverse description | A vine leaf or wreath motif encircles the central field, within which a small circular device or symbol is visible. The abbreviated Greek legend referencing the title Ethnarch is distributed around the field. The overall style is characteristic of the small hammered bronzes struck under Herod Archelaus, with a dotted border and crude but recognizable die work. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with hand-struck Judaean coinage of the early first century AD. |
