| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Obodas II facing right, rendered in the schematic Nabataean artistic tradition. The effigy displays long, striated hair falling behind the neck, with a beaded diadem clearly visible across the crown. The draped shoulders are indicated by incised folds at the base of the bust. A dotted border encircles the field. Nabataean script inscription appears to the left of the bust. |

| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing left with wings closed and head turned slightly upward, rendered in a bold, stylised manner typical of Nabataean coinage influenced by Ptolemaic prototypes. The bird is depicted with prominent talons gripping the base of the field, its body occupying the central zone of the flan. A Nabataean inscription surrounds the eagle in the field on both sides, reading the royal titulature of Obodas. The entire design is contained within a dotted border. |
