Numidian coin

Coin of King Massinissa.

Numidian coins are the coins struck by the kings of the Numidian Kingdom between the late 3rd and 1st centuries BC. They represent one of the principal archaeological and historical sources for the study of ancient Numidia, documenting the succession of its rulers, the development of the kingdom's economy, and its political relations with Carthage and Rome. Numidian coinage evolved a distinctive royal iconography centered on the Numidian monarchy and cavalry.
