| 裏面の説明 | Central field displays the regnal year inscription RA VII (Regnal Year 7) rendered in Latin characters, set within an elaborate wreath composed of grain ears and branches tied at the base with a ribbon or cord, all executed in relief. The wreath motif, a common symbol of royal authority and abundance in Mauretanian and Hellenistic coinage, frames the date notation prominently. The field surrounding the wreath is flat and unadorned. The reverse design is characteristic of the Caesarean mint output under Ptolemy, combining Roman epigraphic convention with Hellenistic decorative elements. The irregular flan edges are consistent with hammered coinage of this period. |

Ptolemy of Mauretania, son of Juba II and Cleopatra Selene II, issued coinage under Roman oversight as a client king — his authority real but bounded. This silver piece dates to the early years of his sole reign, before Caligula had him summoned to Rome and executed in 40 AD, an act that triggered a prolonged revolt in Mauretania and ultimately led to the province's annexation under Claudius.
The unassigned reference numbers reflect how poorly systematized Mauretanian numismatics remains. Specimens surface rarely enough that the die corpus is still incomplete.
