The surrounding circular legend reads ΗΡΩΔΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ (of King Herod) in Greek capitals, running clockwise. The inscription is set within a dotted border that follows the irregular contour of the flan, typical of Herodian bronze coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Herod was not yet king when this coin was struck — he was still fighting to take Judaea by force, backed by Roman legions under Sosius. The issue dates to the siege of Jerusalem itself, a brutal campaign that ended with the city taken and Antigonus II Mattathias, the last Hasmonean ruler, captured and later beheaded at Antony's order. Minting during an active military conquest was a calculated political act, asserting legitimate authority over a city not yet in his hands.
Meshorer 44 is among the heavier bronzes Herod produced, and specimens with full, unclipped flans are genuinely scarce.
