| Obverse description | Unworked cylindrical hacksilber ingot of crude, irregular form, cast rather than struck. The surface presents a heavily patinated, granular texture with natural oxidation ranging from pale silver-grey to green-tinged toning, consistent with prolonged burial. No design, legend, or iconographic element is present; the piece functioned purely as a weight-standard unit of bullion silver, representing 2 Gerah (one-tenth of a Shekel) in the pre-coinage monetary system of ancient Israel and Judah. |
