| Obverse description | Upright admiralty-style anchor depicted in the central field, with a crossbar and ring at the top and flukes splayed at the base. The Greek legend ΗΡW ΒΑCΙΛ, reading 'King Herod', is arranged around the anchor in the field. The design is executed in a simple, somewhat crude hammered style typical of Herodian bronze coinage. The flan is irregular and the strike is uneven, consistent with the small denomination prutah issues of this reign. |
