The effigy is rendered in a schematic provincial style typical of Herodian-era bronze coinage. The circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field. |

| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple with four columns set on a stepped podium, depicted in a frontal elevation with a triangular pediment above; the regnal year LΛΔ (year 34 of Philip's reign) appears in the field. The surrounding Greek legend records the authority of Philip the Tetrarch and the foundation of the city. The architectural rendering, though schematic, evokes the sanctuary at Caesarea Philippi. |
