Prutah - Herod Archelaus

Obverse description	Anchor depicted in the central field, rendered in a simple yet bold style typical of Herodian coinage. The anchor, a common symbol of maritime power and dynastic ambition on Judaean coins of this period, is shown with curved flukes and a crossbar. A dotted border encircles the design. The Greek legend ΗΡW (abbreviated form of Herod) appears partially around the central device in the field.

Reverse description	A double cornucopia (cornucopiae) depicted in the central field, the two horns curving outward symmetrically and filled with fruits or grain, a traditional symbol of abundance and prosperity on Herodian prutot. The Greek legend ΕΘΝ ΡΑ ΗΧ, an abbreviated reference to the title Ethnarch claimed by Archelaus, is distributed around the device. A dotted border frames the composition. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, as is characteristic of hand-struck Judaean bronze coinage of this era.
