| Reverse description | The personification of Africa reclines to the left, wearing the distinctive elephant-scalp headdress that serves as her primary attribute and symbol of the province. She holds a scorpion in her extended hand, while a basket filled with corn or fruits is placed to her left, symbolizing the agricultural wealth of the province. The senatorial authorization legend AFRICA S C appears in the field, with S C (Senatus Consulto) confirming the senate's authority over base-metal coinage. The composition reflects the Hadrianic series of personified provinces, celebrating Roman dominion over North Africa. |
