| Reverse description | A crocodile depicted in profile facing right, rendered with characteristic scaly texture covering the body in a series of raised pellets, its jaws open and legs extended in a walking pose. The Greek legend KΛЄOΠATPA is inscribed in the upper field above the crocodile, with BACIΛICCA appearing in the lower field below, together reading 'Queen Cleopatra'. The crocodile type alludes to the Egyptian heritage of Cleopatra Selene, wife of Juba II. The design is framed by a beaded border. |
