| Obverse description | A wreath occupies the central field, rendered in a somewhat crude, irregular style typical of Judaean provincial bronze coinage of the early Imperial period. The legend ΙΟΥ ΛΙΑ appears within or around the wreath, referencing Julia Livia, mother of the emperor Tiberius. The flan is irregular and the strike is characteristically uneven, with portions of the design weakly impressed. Some specimens exhibit a retrograde or blundered form of the obverse legend, reflecting the variable quality of production at the Jerusalem mint. |
