Reverse description	Central field features a stylized palm tree depicted frontally, with spreading fronds and two clusters of dates or fruit flanking the trunk, presented within a dotted circular border. The date formula L ΛϚ (regnal year 36 of Augustus, corresponding to 6 CE) appears in Greek characters in the field, serving as the primary dating element of the issue. The palm tree motif was a longstanding symbol of Judea widely employed on the provincial coinage of the region. The overall execution is bold but somewhat schematic, consistent with the local workshop production of the Jerusalem mint under prefectural administration.
