| Reverse description | Facing bust of Africa turned slightly to the right, wearing an elephant-skin headdress, a characteristic personification type widely employed on coins of Mauretania and other North African issues. The figure is rendered in moderate relief with the elephant's head and trunk serving as a distinctive iconographic attribute identifying the continent. The legend DIVI F appears in the field to the right of the bust, identifying Augustus as son of the deified Julius Caesar. The overall style reflects the local Mauretanian workshop tradition blending Roman iconographic conventions with indigenous artistic expression. |
