| Obverse description | Paleo-Hebrew inscription in wedge-style characters arranged in five lines within a wreath of olive or laurel branches. The legend, reading right to left in the ancient Hebrew script, identifies the issuing authority. The wreath border encircles the entire field, with the branches tied at the base. The coin is crudely struck on an irregular flan, characteristic of Hasmonean-period bronze coinage. |

| Reverse description | Double cornucopia adorned with decorative ribbons or fillets, with a pomegranate emerging between the horns. The design is enclosed by a border of dots. The double cornucopia is a characteristic emblem of Hasmonean dynastic coinage, symbolizing prosperity and abundance, rendered in low relief on the broad, flat flan. |
