Æ - Uncertain king Siga

Obverse description	Bare bearded male head facing right, rendered in a bold, somewhat archaic Hellenistic style. The hair is depicted in short, wavy locks pulled back from the forehead, with a possible diadem or fillet visible above the brow. The facial features — strong jaw, prominent nose, and thick beard — suggest a royal or divine effigy, possibly representing a Numidian king. A dotted border or beaded circle frames the entire design. The flan is slightly irregular and the surfaces show typical casting characteristics of North African bronze coinage of the period.

Reverse description	A mounted warrior or rider gallops to the right on a horse shown at full stride, the rider leaning forward with arm extended, consistent with the dynamic equestrian type common to Numidian royal bronzes. The horse is rendered with considerable energy, its legs fully extended in a flying gallop. Below the horse, the Neo-Punic inscription ŠYG'N ('Siga', referring to the royal mint city or dynastic name) appears in the lower field. The composition closely parallels the reverse types of other Numidian royal bronzes attributed to the region of Siga in Mauretania-Numidia. A dotted border frames the design.
