| Reverse description | The personification of Africa reclines to the left, depicted as a draped female figure wearing an elephant-skin headdress, her head turned to face the viewer. She holds a scorpion in her right hand and rests her left arm on a basket or modius, symbolic of the province's abundant grain production. A lion crouches at her feet to the right, further emphasizing the exotic character of the African province. The legend AFRICA appears in the upper field, while the senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consulto) is prominently placed in the lower exergue. |
