Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Roman and Mauritanian elements. The coin's design includes the image of Juba II, the king of Mauretania, wearing a Roman-style toga and a crown with a crescent moon, which is a symbol of the African kingdom. This blending of cultures reflects the complex history of Mauretania, which was a client state of the Roman Empire at the time.
