Reverse description	A lion striding vigorously to the right, rendered in high relief with its maned head turned to face the viewer frontally, conveying a sense of power and regality emblematic of Numidian royal iconography. The musculature of the body is boldly modelled, with the tail raised and curving over the back. A Neo-Punic inscription arcs above the lion in the upper field, identifying the issuing authority. The design occupies the majority of the flan, with the reverse legend serving as the principal epigraphic element of this type.
