| Obverse lettering | ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΗΡΩΔΗΣ ΦΙΛΟΚΛΑΥΔΙΟΣ (Translation: King Herod, friend of Claudius) |
| Reverse description | Five-line Greek inscription distributed across the central field and enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a broad laurel wreath. The wreath, tied at the base, is rendered with carefully struck leaf pairs and provides an elegant frame for the dedicatory text. The legend reads ΚΛΑΥΔΙ / ΩΚΑΙΣΑ / ΡΙΣΕΒΑΣ / ΤΩ ΕΤΓ, honouring Claudius Caesar Augustus and recording the regnal year 3 (ΕΤΓ) of Herod of Chalcis. The composition follows the standard epigraphic reverse type employed by Herodian dynasts in imitation of broader Hellenistic and Roman provincial coinage conventions. |
