| Obverse description | Laureate and diademed head of Juba II facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic portrait style with carefully detailed curling hair beneath the laurel wreath. A long ribbon or taenia extends behind the neck. The legend REX IVBA arcs around the right field, proclaiming his royal title in Latin characters. The portrait exhibits the idealized classicizing convention typical of Mauretanian royal coinage under Juba II's philhellenic influence. |
