| Obverse description | Two oblong shields crossed diagonally over two crossed spears, depicted in a stylized military arrangement at the center of the coin. The Greek legend ΝΕΡW ΚΛΑΥ ΚΑΙCΑΡ (Nero Claudius Caesar) encircles the design, referencing Nero, son of Claudius. The crude hammered fabric is typical of provincial bronzes struck under Roman procuratorial authority in Judaea. The field is uneven with characteristic irregular flan edges consistent with hand-struck production. |

| Reverse description | A six-branched palm tree bearing two pendant clusters of dates, rendered frontally with branches splaying symmetrically to either side of the trunk. The Greek legend ΒΡΙΤ LΙΔ ΚΑΙ surrounds the type, referencing Britannicus, younger son of Claudius, and the regnal year 14 of Caesar (54 AD). The palm tree is a characteristic symbol of Judaea employed on procuratorial coinage throughout the first century. The overall style is crude and provincial, consistent with the hammered bronze prutot struck under Felix. |
