Commentary
Poids léger. Légère trace de début de cassure de coin au revers. Le revers est peut-être inspiré par l’aureus et le denier d’Auguste (RIC. 544 et 545) avec le même crocodile qui commémore la victoire d’Octave sur l’Égypte.
Light weight. Slight trace of early die breakage on the reverse. The reverse is perhaps inspired by the aureus and denarius of Augustus (RIC. 544 and 545) with the same crocodile that commemorates Octavian's victory over Egypt

Historical background
MAURETANIA - MAURETANIAN KINGDOM - JUBA II and CLEOPATRA
(19 BC - 6 AD)
Juba I had been defeated at Thapsus in 46 BC but his son, Juba II (50 AC. - 23 AD), brought up by Octavia, became the friend of Augustus who gave him the province of Mauretania in 25 BC Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Cleopatra VII and Marc Antoine, was spared by Octave in 30 BC when the latter had Ptolemy XV (Caesarion) put to death. She married Juba II around 19 BC and died around 5 or 6 AD. Juba II survived him by about eighteen years. She is the great aunt of Caligula and the mother of Ptolemy who succeeded Juba II and whom his cousin Caligula had assassinated in Rome in 40 to annex Mauretania.
