| Reverse description | A boar standing to the left in high relief, depicted with characteristic bristled back and naturalistic musculature, occupying the central field. Above the boar, a branch or plant motif is visible in the upper field, likely a cereal ear or palm frond, a common symbol on Numidian civic coinage. The Neo-Punic mint signature legend 'MQM>' appears in the field, referencing the city of Macomades. The design is enclosed within a shallow border, and the flan is irregular, consistent with hammered production at a provincial North African mint. |
