| Obverse description | Bare-headed and diademed effigy of King Juba II facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with carefully detailed hair dressed in characteristic Mauretanian fashion, adorned with a royal diadem with trailing ribbons visible behind the neck. The portrait is youthful and idealized, reflecting the Hellenistic artistic conventions adopted by the Mauretanian court. The Latin legend REX IVBA is disposed around the field, reading from the lower right upward and continuing above the head. |
