| Obverse description | Paleo-Hebrew inscription in highly stylized ancient script enclosed within an olive or laurel wreath, the legend arranged in multiple lines across the field. Many individual letters are partially illegible due to the deeply stylized engraving style and characteristic wear of these issues. The wreath border is rendered with overlapping leaves tied at the base, framing the inscription in the traditional Hasmonean coinage format. |
