Juba II of the day.
« on: November 27, 2021, 02:48:59 am »
Just picked up this little coin of Juba II. It is toned, slightly off centred and has a weak obverse legend. It also has an excellent portrait of the learned ruler with a pleasing reverse design and clear legend. 

NORTH AFRICA, Mauretania, kings of, Juba II with Kleopatra Selene, (25 B.C.-A.D. 24), silver denarius, (3.89 g), Caesarea mint, struck c.20 B.C. - A.D.24, obv. diademed head of Juba to right, around REX IVBA, backwards to right, dotted border, rev.**KLEOPATRA* BAC*IL*ICCA, star in crescent, (S.6005, Mazard 299, SNG Cop. 567).

This coin certainly deserves a response.  It is certainly a splendid example of presumably a very scarce issue.

That's a wonderful coin.  Congratulations.  For a while I was trying to collect all of Juba II coins, especially with Cleopatra Selene.  Here's mine, different dies.
