| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Juba II facing left, wearing a diadem with multiple prongs visible above the forehead, the hair rendered in short curling locks in the Hellenistic royal tradition. The royal portrait is executed in a refined style reflecting the king's Greco-Roman cultural orientation. The Latin legend IVBA appears to the right of the effigy, running downward along the coin's edge. The flan is irregular, as typical of Mauretanian hammered silver coinage of this period. |
