| 背面描述 | A ceremonial tripod table depicted in full face, its three legs clearly rendered, flanked on either side by upright palm branches curving outward toward the coin's edge. A dotted border encircles the entire design. The tripod and palm branches are symbols of Hellenistic royal and religious authority, rendered in the typical flat, schematic style of Herodian bronze coinage. The overall composition is centered within the flan. |

Herod minted this issue under explicit permission from Augustus, a deliberate political arrangement that kept Jewish religious law technically intact — the coins bear no human image, sidestepping the prohibition that had made earlier Hasmonean coinage contentious. The double prutah denomination sat at the practical middle of his bronze currency hierarchy, useful enough for daily market transactions without being the pocket-worn fraction that the single prutah became.
BMC Greek 24 is among the better-documented of Herod's issues, though die alignment and flan preparation vary considerably across surviving specimens — a known characteristic of the Jerusalem mint's bronze output during this period.
