My latest coin is an unusual one from North Africa - https://www.sullacoins.com/post/bocchus-ii-king-of-mauretania Post coins from North Africa or anything else you find interesting or entertaining.
Nice coin Sulla, and great article in your blog, well worth a look if you have not seen it. KINGS of NUMIDIA. Juba I, Circa 60-46 BC. Drachm (Silver, 17mm, 3.76 g 12), Utica. REX IVBA Diademed, bearded, draped and cuirassed bust of Juba I to right, scepter over his right shoulder. Rev. (Punic legend) Octastyle temple with a flat roof and a small, central, pedimented tower. MAA 29. Mazard 84. SNG Copenhagen 523.
This is an odd issue from Carthage, as they did not produce serrated coins until their demise. This one is kinda hard to obtain. Carthage Third Punic War Serrate Double Shekel 149-146 BCE 12.8g 26mm Wreathd Tanit-Horse pellet raised leg SNG COP 404 Arguably a last issue from Carthage
Me in North Africa... 10 mi / 15km from Algerian border in Morocco Sahara (East of Erfoud) ... I reckon Ancient Mauretania
Lotta fun. Rode a few miles in the dunes, and was an easy ride. Very similar to Western Saddle that I grew up on. Lol, however, mounting was a much different story!
