| Obverse description | Aramaic royal inscription of Alexander Jannaeus arranged in three lines within a border of dots. The legend reads 'King Alexander' in Aramaic script, presented in a plain epigraphic style typical of Hasmonean bronze coinage. The lettering is crudely struck, consistent with the irregular flan and hammered technique characteristic of this series. The field surrounding the inscription is flat and undecorated. |
