| Obverse description | Jugate busts of Aretas IV and his queen Shaqilath facing right, both diademed, rendered in the schematic Nabataean artistic style typical of the late first century BCE to early first century CE. The busts are set within the field without an encircling border. The Aramaic legend surrounds the effigies, reading 'Aretas, King of Nabataea, who loves his people.' |
