Commentary
Le revers n’est pas sans rappeler la vache Hathor, mais cette dernière portait le disque solaire entre les cornes. Le revers s’adresse très certainement à Cléopâtre Séléné, fille de Cléopâtre VII Théa (51-30 AC.) et de Marc Antoine. L’exemplaire de MONNAIES 53, n° 175 s’est vendu 1300€ avec huit offres.
The reverse is reminiscent of the Hathor cow, but the latter bore the solar disk between its horns. The reverse is most likely addressed to Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Cleopatra VII Thea (51-30 BC) and Mark Antony. The copy from COINS 53, No. 175 sold for €1,300 with eight bids.

Historical background
MAURETANIA - MAURETANIAN KINGDOM - JUBA II
(25 BC - 23 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.
