| Obverse description | Diademed bare head of King Juba II facing right, rendered in a refined Hellenistic style with finely detailed wavy hair bound by a royal diadem. The effigy is portrayed with naturalistic facial features characteristic of late Hellenistic portraiture. The Latin legend REX IVBA runs along the right field, arranged vertically. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | A eight-rayed star positioned centrally within a upward-opening crescent moon, both symbols rendered in high relief against a plain field. The regnal year inscription R XXXIIII, denoting the 34th year of Juba II's reign (equivalent to 9 AD), arcs across the upper field in bold Latin numerals. The composition reflects the strong Hellenistic and North African symbolic traditions of the Mauretanian royal coinage. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
