Æ17 - Aretas IV and Shaqilath

正面描述	Jugate busts of Aretas IV and his queen Shaqilath facing right, both draped; the king depicted to the left with flowing hair and a simple diadem, the queen to the right slightly smaller in scale, rendered in the schematic Nabataean artistic style characteristic of the period. No legend appears in the field. The portraits are bold in relief despite the irregular flan, with surface patination revealing the greenish-brown bronze beneath.

背面描述	Central field occupied by two crossed cornucopiae (double cornucopia), a symbol of royal abundance widely used on Nabataean coinage, with a circular pellet at the center of the cross. A Nabataean Aramaic legend is inscribed around the device, reading the names of Aretas and Shaqilath. The design is executed in a linear, stylized manner typical of late Nabataean bronzes, with the legend disposed across the upper and lower fields of the flan.
