| Obverse description | Greek legend ΙΟΥΛΙΑ ΑΓΡΙΠΠΙΝΑ arranged in four lines within a laurel wreath tied at the bottom with an X-shaped knot, referencing Julia Agrippina, wife of Emperor Claudius. The wreath frames the inscription symmetrically, with leaves extending to either side across the coin's field. No portrait or figural motif is present; the design is entirely epigraphic in character. The coin exhibits an irregular, roughly circular flan typical of Judaean provincial bronze coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Two crossed palm branches displayed diagonally in the central field, their fronds splaying outward in opposite directions to form a saltire-like arrangement. Encircling the design is a Greek legend reading ΤΙΒΕΡΙΟΣ ΚΛΑΥΔΙΟΣ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ ΓΕΡΜΑΝΙΚΟΣ with the regnal year LΙΔ (year 14) inscribed in the lower field, corresponding to 54 AD. The palm branches are a standard symbol of Judaea and appear frequently on the bronze prutot issued under Roman procurators. The peripheral legend runs continuously around the coin's border. |
