| Obverse description | Central palm branch oriented vertically, flanked on either side by small leaves or vegetative ornaments. The design occupies the full flan and is contained within a border of dots. The strike is characteristic of Herodian hammered bronze coinage, with a somewhat irregular flan and moderate relief. |

| Reverse description | An aphlaston (the ornamental stern piece of a warship) depicted centrally in the field, flanked to the left by a regnal year designation and to the right by a monogram. The Greek royal inscription runs around the periphery within a border of dots, referencing Herod's third year of reign. The overall style reflects Hellenistic influence on Herodian coinage. |
