| Obverse description | Central field bearing the two-word Hebrew inscription ירושלם (Jerusalem) arranged within a wreath of olive or laurel branches tied at the base. The wreath, rendered in low relief with individual leaves depicted schematically, entirely encircles the legend and serves as the primary decorative border element. The inscription is written in the ancient Hebrew (paleo-Hebrew) script characteristic of Bar Kokhba coinage, evoking the nationalist and religious symbolism of the revolt. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with the hand-struck production methods of the period. |
