Herod Agrippa I, AE 17 mm struck year 40-41 C.E. in Caesarea Philippi (GBC 1242) 3.10 g.
An exceedingly rare coin type depicting a remarkable portrait of king Agrippa I on obverse and his wife, queen Cypros, on the reverse. Of the 4 coin types of Agrippa I depicting his own portrait (GBC 1237 - 1242 - 1246 & 1250), this is, by far, the rarest (only 5 specimens are known to me, I will list them soon on MCP). The last example offered was in the Heritage-Shoshana auction, 4 years ago (lot #20139).
Est. $6,000-8,000
