Reverse description African elephant standing right in full profile, rendered with naturalistic detail including wrinkled skin, a raised trunk, large fan-shaped ears, and short tusks visible at the head. The animal's sturdy legs and heavy body are depicted with characteristic Numidian artistic convention. A two-line Neo-Punic legend appears in the upper left field, reading 'IOBA HMMLKT' (Juba the King), identifying the issuing monarch. The design reflects the elephant's significance as a royal and military symbol in Numidian culture.
