| Obverse description | Bare, bearded head of Hercules-Melquart facing left, rendered in a bold, somewhat crude provincial style typical of African municipal bronze coinage. A club is depicted behind the neck, serving as the deity's principal attribute. The portrait is encircled by a partial Latin legend, with the surviving letters VIR REC visible in the field. The flan is irregular and the strike slightly off-center, consistent with locally produced civic issues of the Augustan period. |
