| Obverse description | A tall, centrally placed seven-branched palm tree (lulav) with two pendant clusters of dates, one on each side of the trunk, rendered in low relief characteristic of Bar Kokhba coinage. The tree trunk rises from a narrow base and spreads into symmetrical fronds. The Hebrew inscription appears in the fields flanking the tree on both sides, divided across the design. The overall style is schematic and emblematic, consistent with the nationalist Jewish iconography of the revolt period. |

| Reverse description | A large, centrally positioned bunch of grapes hanging from a curved vine branch with a small leaf, depicted in bold, stylized relief typical of Bar Kokhba bronze coinage. The grape cluster is rendered with individual pellets representing each fruit, conveying a lush, symbolic representation of the Land of Israel. The Hebrew inscription encircles the central motif, distributed across the field. The flan is irregular and shows characteristic surface patination of ancient hammered bronzes. |
