| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of King Juba II facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portraiture tradition, with finely detailed curly hair bound by a royal diadem. The effigy displays characteristic Numidian-Hellenistic artistic style, with a prominent nose and strong facial features. The Latin legend REX IVBA is disposed around the bust in the field, reading partially above and to the right of the portrait. |

The wreath fills the entire field and is bounded by a plain inner border, with the leafy branches spreading symmetrically. The legend references Caesarea, the royal capital, and the regnal year XXXII (32), corresponding to 7 AD. |
