Lotto 515:
Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD) with Agrippa. AE As, Nemausus mint, c. 10-14 AD. Obv. Heads of Agrippa, wearing combined rostral crown and laurel wreath, to left and Augustus, laureate, to right, back to back; IMP above, DIVI F below, P P across field. Rev. Crocodile right, chained to palm tree; above, wreath with long ties; COL NEM across field. RIC I (2nd ed.) 159; RPC I 525. AE. 11.93 g. 27 mm. A handsome example. Lovely dark olive green patina. Light graffiti as usual, and a die swift on reverse. Chipped edge. Good VF/About EF. This coin type was first issued to commemorate Augustus’ establishment of the colony Colonia Augusta Nemausus in southern Gaul in 27 BC. However, this particular example comes from a later reissue, struck two years after Agrippa’s death. The presence of P P (Pater Patriae) on the obverse indicates it was minted after Augustus received this title in 2 BC, confirming it as a subsequent emission of the well-known 'crocodile dupondius.'.
