| Reverse description | Draped bust of Africa facing left, identified by the distinctive elephant-scalp headdress with its characteristic trunk and tusks visible above the brow, and long curling hair falling behind. A cornucopia or similar attribute appears behind the neck. The reverse field is plain and without an additional symbol before the bust, as noted by the variety designation. The rendering closely follows Hellenistic divine personification types and reflects the iconographic programme linking the Mauretanian monarchy to the wealth and identity of North Africa. |
