| Obverse description | Bare diademed head of King Syphax facing left, rendered in low relief with a distinctive pointed beard; the portrait exhibits the naturalistic Hellenistic style characteristic of Numidian royal coinage of the late third century BC. The flan is notably irregular, with a broad, uneven edge typical of hammered North African bronze issues of this period. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend on this face. |
