Reverse description A tripod table rendered in schematic relief, depicted frontally with three legs and a flat top surface, enclosed within a plain circular border or ring. The tripod, a symbol associated with Hellenistic royal iconography and the Delphic tradition, occupies the central field of the reverse. The surrounding field is plain, and the flan edges are ragged and irregular, characteristic of the hammered bronze prutot of Herod the Great. No legend or additional inscription appears on the reverse.
