| Obverse description | Bare head of Juba II facing right, portrayed in the guise of the youthful Herakles, wearing the Nemean lion's skin headdress knotted at the throat, the paws draped over the crown of the head. The portrait displays idealized Hellenistic features with curling hair visible beneath the lion-scalp. The Latin legend REX IVBA curves around the right field, identifying the ruler as King Juba. The style reflects the Greco-Roman artistic tradition favored at the Mauretanian court. |
