Denarius - Cleopatra Selene Caesarea

Beschrijving voorzijde	Diademed and draped bust of Queen Cleopatra Selene facing left, her hair elaborately arranged and bound with a diadem, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition. The effigy is portrayed with fine detail in the drapery at the shoulder. The Greek legend BACIΛICCA (meaning 'Queen') arcs around the field, asserting her royal title. The flan is irregular and slightly porous, consistent with hand-struck silver coinage of the period.

Beschrijving keerzijde	A lion in full stride, leaping or pouncing to the left, depicted with vigorous naturalistic energy characteristic of Hellenistic royal iconography. The animal's musculature and extended forelimbs are rendered with clarity despite the worn surfaces. The field is otherwise plain, with no visible exergual line or additional legend. The irregular flan and characteristic die style are consistent with the Mauretanian royal mint output of the early 1st century AD.
