| Obverse description | Bare diademed head of Juba II facing right, rendered in a fine Hellenistic portrait style with carefully articulated curled hair and a plain diadem across the brow. The effigy displays a clean, youthful profile with well-defined facial features characteristic of the Caesarean mint's output. The abbreviated Latin legend IVBA REX appears in the field, identifying the ruler as King Juba. The truncation of the neck is plain, and the portrait occupies the central field with minimal peripheral ornamentation. |

| Reverse description | A distyle temple facade with lateral peribolus walls depicted in careful architectural detail, the entablature bearing the inscription AVGVSTI. The pediment is decorated with a central eagle with wings spread, flanked by standing Victories on each acroterion. A crescent surmounts the apex of the pediment, a recurring Mauretanian royal symbol. The regnal year reference R·XXXI appears in the exergue, denoting the thirty-first year of Juba II's reign. |
