| Obverse description | Upright anchor centered in the field, with a crossbar and curved flukes at the base. The date inscription ΕΤ RΚ (Year 26) appears flanking the anchor shaft on either side. The entire design is surrounded by a dotted border. The style is typical of the provincial bronze coinage struck under Herod Agrippa II. |

| Additional information |
Herod Agrippa II ruled as the last of the Herodian client kings under Roman authority, his reign extending well past the Jewish War of 66–73 CE — a conflict in which he actively sided with Rome. That loyalty kept him in power through the destruction of the Temple and the fall of Jerusalem, a political calculation that earned him additional territory even as his kingdom's population was decimated. This small bronze was struck in the final years of his reign, well into the Flavian period, when his authority had become largely ceremonial.
