| Obverse description | Eight-pointed star within a diadem, with Paleo-Hebrew inscription filling the spaces between the rays. A Π-shaped monogram appears in the field among the legend. The design is rendered in a crude, hand-struck style typical of Hasmonean bronze coinage. The star motif serves as the central device, surrounded by a dotted border. |

| Reverse description | An anchor depicted centrally, rendered with a crossbar and two curved flukes, finely engraved in the Hellenistic style. The Greek legend encircles the anchor in the field, reading around the periphery. The execution is characteristic of Hasmonean bilingual coinage, reflecting the Hellenistic cultural influence of the period. The flan is irregular and the strike is typically uneven. |
