| Reverse description | Bare head of Ceres facing right, rendered in low relief characteristic of the provincial bronze coinage of Hippo Regius. The hair appears simply dressed, reflecting the goddess's association with grain and fertility in the North African religious context. The Latin legend HIPPONE is inscribed in the right field, identifying the issuing city of Hippo Regius. The strike is irregular on a roughly circular flan, consistent with the artisanal production methods of this Mauretanian municipal coinage. |
