| Reverse description | A caduceus (kerykeion) depicted centrally in the field, flanked on either side by a grain ear, symbolizing prosperity and the fertile nature of the Mauretanian kingdom. A crescent appears above the caduceus, serving as a royal or religious emblem. The regnal date RA XX (year 20 of Ptolemy's reign, corresponding to AD 39/40) is distributed across the fields in Neo-Punic or Latin notation. The composition is characteristic of Mauretanian royal silver coinage, combining Hellenistic iconographic elements with locally significant symbols of abundance. |
