| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of King Ptolemy of Mauretania facing right, the hair rendered in fine wavy strands beneath a royal diadem. The portrait displays a youthful, idealized effigy in the Hellenistic tradition. The circular Latin legend REX PTOLEMAEVS surrounds the bust, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-hammered production. The overall style reflects the blending of Hellenistic royal portraiture with Roman provincial coinage conventions. |
