| Reverse description | Central design featuring the crocodile of the Nile rendered in profile, surrounded by a laurel wreath, with two crossed lances or spears above and below, all enclosed within a decorative border of olive or laurel branches. The legend LVCV AVGVSTI is divided around the central device, referencing the Lucus Augusti (sacred grove of Augustus) and reflecting the close political alliance between Juba II and the Roman imperial court. A small ornamental motif appears in the lower exergue. The composition is typical of Juba II's reverse types celebrating his Roman connections. |
