Reverse description A bull standing right, rendered in high relief with musculature carefully detailed, its head turned slightly toward the viewer. Above the bull's back appears a distinctive Egyptian cult symbol — a sistrum or uraeus-topped orb set within a crescent — reflecting Juba II's syncretic religious interests and Ptolemaic dynastic connections through his wife Cleopatra Selene. A ground line runs beneath the animal. In the exergue, the Latin regnal year notation R XXXXII is inscribed, indicating the 42nd regnal year of Juba II, corresponding to 17 AD.
