| Obverse description | Bare diademed head of King Juba II facing left, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition with finely detailed curled hair secured by a royal diadem. The effigy displays strong, individualistic facial features characteristic of the Mauretanian royal coinage. A Latin legend encircles the portrait, reading REX IVBA REGIS IVBAI F R A VI, identifying the king by name and descent. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, as typical of hammered silver issues of this period. |
