Q METELL – SCIPIO IMP Laureate head of Africa r., clad in elephant skin; before, corn ear and below, plough. Rev.

The two issues of Scipio here fairly clearly show that the rebel had little access to skilled engravers. His coins tend to be somewhat crude artistically even though his message regarding the strength of the Africans is clear. MSG.
