| Obverse description | Bare diademed head of King Juba II facing right, rendered in a refined Hellenistic portrait style with curled hair and a ribbon diadem tied at the nape. The facial features are finely modeled, with a pronounced jaw and a slightly idealized profile consistent with royal Mauretanian coinage. The legend REX IVBA appears in the field to the right of the portrait in Latin characters. A border of beads frames the design. |

| Reverse description | A naturalistically rendered crocodile advances to the left, depicted in profile with articulated scales rendered as raised pellets across the dorsal surface and flanks, open jaws, and clawed feet resting on a straight ground line. The design alludes to Egypt and the Nile, reflecting the royal heritage of Cleopatra Selene. The Greek legend ΚΛΕΟΠΑΤΡΑ appears above the crocodile and ΒΑΣΙΛΙΣΣΑ below the ground line, identifying the queen consort. The coin is bordered by a prominent ring of beads. |
