| Obverse description | Central field bears a double cornucopia (cornucopiae) arranged symmetrically, adorned with ribbons, with a pomegranate visible between the horns of plenty — a characteristic Hasmonean motif. The Hebrew legend is inscribed in the field surrounding the central device, reading in multiple lines. The flan is irregular and the striking is somewhat off-center, typical of hammered Hasmonean bronze coinage of this period. |
