KINGS OF MAURETANIA. Juba II, 25 BC-AD 24. Denarius (Silver, 18 mm, 3.06 g, 4 h), Caesaraea. REX IVBA Diademed head of Juba II to right. Rev. Elephant walking to right. MAA 75. Mazard 135. SNG Copenhagen 577-578. Beautiful old collection toning. Extremely fine.
From the Graeculus Collection, Peus 428, 28 April 2021, 537, ex Peus 376, 29 October 2003, 820 and Schweizerischer Bankverein 28, 17-19 September 1991, 294.
As a Roman client king, Juba II adopted the Roman denarius for his own coinage and used Latin titles and legends. It is also worth noting that the reverse of this particular issue is clearly copied from Caesar's elephant coinage.
