| Reverse description | Central device depicting a six-rayed star resting on a upward-pointing crescent, a dynastic emblem associated with Cleopatra Selene and the Ptolemaic royal tradition. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΙΣΣΑ ΚΛΕΟΠΑΤΡΑ encircles the design in the field, reading around the border. The entire composition is framed by a beaded circle, and the style of the lettering reflects the Hellenistic cultural milieu of the Mauretanian court. |
