| Obverse description | Central device depicts a simpulum (ladle), a Roman priestly implement, set diagonally within a dotted border. The Greek legend ΝΕΡW ΚΛΑΥ ΚΑΙCΑΡ, reading 'Nero Claudius Caesar', encircles the design. The field is flat and unadorned, typical of Judaean provincial bronze coinage of this period. The design is struck on a roughly circular flan with characteristic irregularities of hand-struck provincial production. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts a palm branch oriented vertically, a symbol of Judaea frequently employed on provincial coinage of this region. The Greek legend ΤΙ ΚΛΑΥΔΙΟC ΚΑΙCΑΡ ΓΕΡΜ encircles the field, referencing Tiberius Claudius Caesar Germanicus, while the date formula LΙΔ, denoting regnal year 14, appears in the lower field. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hammered provincial bronze issues struck at Jerusalem under the procuratorship of Marcus Antonius Felix. |
