| Obverse description | A palm branch (lulav) depicted upright at center, flanked on either side by symmetrical olive or citron branches bearing leaves and fruit, all arranged within a wreath border. The composition is rendered in a flat, stylized manner characteristic of Bar Kokhba revolt coinage. A Hebrew inscription encircles the design within the field, reading from right to left. The overall type conveys strong Jewish religious and nationalist symbolism. |

| Reverse description | A wide lyre (nevel or chelys) of four or five strings depicted frontally at center, its resonating body rendered as a rectangular frame with crossbar and visible string attachments at top and bottom. The instrument's yoke arms extend upward on either side in slightly curved form, consistent with the nevel type as known from other Bar Kokhba bronzes. A Hebrew inscription is distributed in the field to the left and above the instrument. The engraving is bold and schematic, typical of the emergency coinage of the revolt. |
