| Obverse description | Bare, bearded male head facing right, identified as King Bogud of Mauretania, rendered in a somewhat schematic local style typical of North African regal coinage of the late Republican period. The portrait occupies the central field with no surrounding legend on this side. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show heavy patination consistent with the hammered fabric of the issue. |

| Reverse description | Prow of a galley advancing to the left, depicted with oar-banks and a prominent forepost, rendered in a linear style characteristic of Mauretanian bronze coinage. A Latin legend is disposed around the prow, reading REX BOCVT, identifying the issuing authority as King Bogud. The overall composition reflects Hellenistic naval iconography adapted to local regal coinage. |
