| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of King Juba II facing right, wearing a radiate or wreathed crown adorned with sprigs, with long curling locks falling behind the neck in the Hellenistic royal tradition. The portrait is rendered in a fine Greco-Roman style, reflecting the king's cosmopolitan cultural identity. The Latin legend REX IVBA is disposed around the bust in the field, with individual letters partially visible due to the irregular flan. The execution is characteristic of the Caesarean mint's early issues, combining Hellenistic portraiture conventions with Roman epigraphic practice. |
