| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crocodile rendered in profile advancing to the right, its body depicted with characteristic scaly texture rendered through careful punching of the die, occupying the central field. The treatment of the crocodile is naturalistic and detailed, with articulated legs, a ridged dorsal spine, and a long tapering tail. A dotted border frames the upper portion of the field. The Greek legend KΛЄOΠATPA appears in the lower exergual area, identifying Cleopatra Selene, co-ruler and consort of Juba II, and the crocodile likely alludes to her Egyptian Ptolemaic ancestry. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Juba II was no ordinary client king — educated in Rome, a prolific scholar, and a close associate of Augustus, he ruled Mauretania as a projection of Roman cultural ambition into North Africa. His queen, Cleopatra Selene, was the daughter of Antony and Cleopatra VII, raised in Rome after being paraded in her mother's place in Octavian's triumph of 29 BC. Their union was a calculated dynastic arrangement, binding the last Ptolemaic bloodline directly into Rome's client network.
The Caesarea mint produced these denarii in relatively modest numbers across a long reign, and the SNG Copenhagen gap signals genuine scarcity in major institutional collections.
