| Obverse description | Draped bust of a deity or ruler facing right, rendered in low relief with a somewhat crude provincial style typical of Judaean bronzes of the late first century CE. The portrait displays visible facial features including a broad nose and chin, with what appears to be a diadem or wreath encircling the head. The abbreviated Greek legend ΒΑ ΑΓΡ (King Agrippa) is disposed in the field flanking the bust. The flan is small, irregular, and shows characteristic dark olive-brown patination with areas of encrustation. |

| Reverse description | A figure, likely Nike or Tyche, standing or advancing, depicted in a flowing garment rendered in low relief with the characteristic style of Herodian provincial bronzes. The reverse field bears the Greek inscription ΕΤ ΔΛ (year 34), corresponding to the 34th regnal year of Agrippa II, equivalent to 93–94 CE. The design is poorly centred on the small irregular flan, with partial loss of detail at the edges due to the limitations of the hammered striking process. The surface displays a consistent dark patina with areas of green corrosion. |
