| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Juba II facing right, his hair rendered in wavy strands with a prominent diadem, the portrait executed in a Hellenistic style blending Roman and North African artistic conventions. A six-pointed star appears in the left field before the king's effigy, serving as a dynastic or divine symbol. The Latin legend REX IVBA runs along the right periphery, identifying the ruler by name and title. The coin's flan is slightly irregular, characteristic of Mauretanian hammered silver coinage of this period. |
