Herod Agrippa II, AE 27 mm struck 74-75 C.E. in Caesarea Paneas (GBC 1282 var.) 18.40 g.
A nice coin of Agrippa II with a interesting double strike visible on the reverse only: The 2nd line of the inscription is missing. The obverse is slightly off-centered at bottom right but the strike is strong and the details of the portrait of Vespasian and of the letters of the inscription are at their best. When the 2nd strike was - unintentionally - given, the flan was still at the same place on the obverse, fixed die (increasing the relief and details), but the reverse die, hold in hand, moved a little.
Est. $800-950
