Reverse description Central type features a branch bearing three pomegranates, the central fruit rising on a tall stem with two lateral stems each bearing a pomegranate bud, rendered in bold relief in the characteristic style of First Revolt coinage. The surrounding circular legend ירושלם קדשה (Jerusalem the Holy) is inscribed in paleo-Hebrew script. The flan is irregularly shaped, consistent with hand-hammered production, and the surfaces show the typical granular texture of ancient silver. The design is framed by a plain border, with the inscription occupying the full circumference of the coin.
