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. 12.27 g. 27.00 mm. Well centred and nice example. Patina flaws on edge. VF/About VF. This coin type was initially minted to commemorate Augustus' establishment of the colony named Colonia Augusta Nemausus in southern Gaul in 27 BC. However, the specific coin in question is part of a revival of the 'crocodile dupondius' design, which occurred two years after Agrippa's death. It features the abbreviation P P (Pater Patriae) on the obverse, a title Augustus was only given in 2 BC, indicating that it was issued at a later date.
