| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a large, bold monogram composed of intertwined letters, likely a royal cypher of Ptolemy of Mauretania, rendered in an angular and architecturally stylised form characteristic of Hellenistic-period royal monograms. A crescent and solar symbol or radiate element appears above the monogram, suggesting dynastic or divine iconographic associations. The legend RA VII, denoting Regnal Year 7, appears to the left in the field in Latin script. The overall design is bold and schematic, filling the flan with little remaining open field, typical of the Mauretanian silver coinage series. |
