| Obverse description | Bare diademed head of King Juba II facing right, rendered with finely detailed curly hair bound by a diadem, the ribbons visible behind the neck. A club or thyrsus rests over the left shoulder, an attribute associated with Hercules or Dionysus, reflecting Juba's dynastic and cultural pretensions. The portrait displays a refined Hellenistic style with sharp facial features, a prominent nose, and a short beard line. The Latin legend REX IVBA is disposed in the right field, reading downward. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, as typical of Mauretanian hammered silver issues. |
