| Obverse description | Central device of a single cornucopia tied with decorative ribbons, adorned with a vine leaf and a cluster of grapes. The cornucopia is rendered in the Hellenistic style characteristic of Hasmonean coinage. A Paleo-Hebrew inscription encircles the central motif within the field, identifying the issuer in his religious capacity. |

| Reverse description | A Greek inscription in two, three, or four lines, often appearing in abbreviated form, enclosed within a wreath and a border of dots. The legend identifies the royal title and name of Antigonus. The wreath border is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition typical of late Hasmonean bronzes, with the inscription sometimes retrograde or irregularly struck due to the hand-hammered production method. |
