| Reverse description | Central field occupied by the Isiac headdress — a combination of the sistrum (ritual rattle of Isis) on the right and the uraeus-surmounted globe flanked by two feathers (the headdress of Isis) on the left — emblems reflecting the Egyptian religious heritage of Queen Cleopatra Selene II. The Greek legend BACIΛI KΛЄΟΠΑΤΡA, meaning 'Queen Cleopatra', is arranged in two lines, with BACIΛI above and KΛЄΟΠΑΤΡA below, separated by a row of pellets. A line border frames the lower portion of the design. The reverse iconography deliberately evokes the queen's Ptolemaic lineage and her role as co-ruler of Mauretania. |
