| Obverse lettering | REX PTOLEMAEVS |
| Reverse description | A tall jug or oenochoë (royal libation vessel) depicted centrally in the field, flanked on either side by the regnal year inscription in Neo-Punic script. The central device is enclosed within a wreath of laurel or olive branches tied at the base, itself surrounded by a beaded border. The reverse composition is characteristic of Mauretanian royal coinage, combining Hellenistic iconography with local Neo-Punic epigraphic tradition. The field is otherwise plain, lending prominence to the royal vessel as a symbol of sacral authority. |
