Æ Unit Lixus

Descrizione del dritto	Bare or helmet-clad male bust facing left, rendered in a bold, somewhat crude local style characteristic of Mauretanian civic coinage. The head is covered with a distinctive tall, elaborately textured cap or headdress with a scale-like or beaded surface pattern, possibly representing a divine or royal figure associated with the city of Lixus. The portrait is set within a dotted border (grenetis) running along the coin's irregular flan edge. The facial features are strongly modeled with a prominent nose and chin. No inscription appears in the field.

Descrizione del rovescio	Two tall, schematically rendered cult objects or standards depicted facing, likely representing the twin pillars or divine symbols associated with the Phoenician deity Melqart, patron god of Lixus. The devices are flanked by subsidiary symbolic elements at their bases, rendered in a flat, linear style typical of Punic-influenced civic bronzes. The whole design is enclosed within a partial dotted border. No legible legend is present, consistent with the known anepigraphy of this Lixus series.
