Agrippa II (49/50 - 94/95 AD). Mint of Caesarea Paneas. AE (20-23mm, 10.55 gm, 12h). [ΝΕΡΩΝ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ] ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟ (of Nero Caesar Augustus); laureate bust of Nero to r., lituus in front of face / EΠΙ ΒΑCIΛΕ ΑΓΡΙΠΠ ΝΕΡΩ ΝΙΕ (in the time of King Agrippa, Neronias); within a circle and wreath. Hendin 1273. TJC 129. AJC II 250,1. RPC 4988. Rough surfaces. Very Fine. This coin and the following two coins were issued to commemorate Agrippa's re-founding of Caesarea Paneas as Neronias. It was once believed that the IE in the reverse legend referred to a date, but this is not correct, instead, it is part of NIE, the abbreviation for the name of the mint city Neronias.
From the Eichner Yosef collection.
