| Obverse description | A cornucopia occupies the central field, rendered in low relief typical of Herodian bronze coinage. The Greek legend ΒΑCΙΛ appears above and ΗΡWΔ below, identifying the issuer as King Herod. The flan is irregular and the striking somewhat crude, consistent with the small hammered bronzes of this reign. The overall design is simple yet characteristic of Judaean royal coinage of the late first century BC. |
