Comment
The Banasa Hoard, deposited in circa AD 18-17 was found in 1907 near modern day Souk-el Arbaa, 120 km northeast of Rabat, Morocco, in 1907. The hoard was previously said to be from Alkazar (El Ksar El Kebir), 70 km south of Tangier and hence is occasionally referred to as the El Ksar Hoard. The group contained approximately 4000 silver coins and one bronze. A substantial number of the coins now reside in public collections, principally in London, Paris, Berlin, Athens, New York and Algiers.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Juba II, who was a Roman client king of Mauretania (present-day Morocco) and ruled from 25 BC to 24 AD. The coin was minted during his reign and is a rare example of a coin from this time period and region.
