| Obverse description | A ship's prow depicted facing right in profile occupies the central field, rendered in low relief with a characteristic ram and oar bank visible beneath the hull. A dotted border or rope-pattern circle surrounds the central device. The coin's flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of Judaean hammered bronzes of the Herodian period. The letter eta (H) appears in the lower field, possibly as a mint or workshop mark. |

| 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. |
