| Obverse description | Macedonian military helmet shown in profile, rendered in high relief at center, surmounted by a star or cross-shaped crest, with cheekpieces and neck-guard clearly delineated. Flanking the helmet on either side are palm or olive branches extending outward in symmetrical arrangement. Below the helmet appears a tripod table or ritual object with three pendant tassels or legs. The entire design is contained within a plain inner border surrounded by a beaded outer border, the whole struck on an irregularly shaped bronze flan. |

| Reverse description | A thymiaterion (incense altar or ceremonial vessel) with a prominent vertical shaft and flanking scroll volutes or branches rendered at center, flanked by the regnal year mark LΓ (Year 3) in the field. The surrounding circular legend reads ΗΡΩΔΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ (of King Herod) in Greek capitals, running clockwise. The inscription is set within a dotted border that follows the irregular contour of the flan, typical of Herodian bronze coinage of this period. |
