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. |

Double cornucopia adorned with ribbons and fruit, positioned back-to-back and curving outward symmetrically in the central field, with a caduceus depicted between them. Dots appear above the design, serving as decorative elements. The overall composition is characteristic of Herodian prutot, referencing Hellenistic royal imagery of abundance and divine favor. The strike is irregular and the flan edges are crude, as is typical for this small bronze denomination. |

Herod's bronze prutot were issued under Roman authorization following his appointment as "King of the Jews" by the Senate in 37 BC — a title backed by Antony and Octavian, but requiring three years of military campaigning before Herod actually controlled the territory he'd been given. The coins carefully avoided human imagery, a concession to Jewish religious sensibility that Herod, himself of Idumean rather than Judean descent, could not politically afford to ignore.
The 40–4 BC date range spans his entire reign, though precise regnal dating of individual prutah types remains contested among specialists working from Hendin's sequence.
