| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of King Ptolemy of Mauretania facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic royal portrait tradition. The effigy displays the monarch with a prominent diadem tied at the nape, with drapery visible at the shoulder. The encircling legend REX PTOLEMAEVS runs around the periphery of the flan, identifying the issuer by name and title. The portrait is executed in a bold, slightly stylized relief characteristic of Mauretanian royal coinage of the early 1st century AD. |
