Agrippina II (died 59 AD). AE 17 mm. Aezani mint, Phrygia. Struck under reign of Claudius?. Obv. AΓPIΠΠINAN CЄBACTHN. Draped bust of Agrippina right. Rev. AΓZANI-TΩN. Diademed, veiled and draped bust of Persephone right; before, poppy and corn ear. RPC I, 3103. AE. g. 2.92 RR. Very rare and in exceptional condition for issue. Superb deep olive green patina. About EF/EF.

This issue, made in the name of Agrippina, is problematic, because it is not immediately clear which of the two empresses is intend. For a discussion, see Trillmich, Familienpropaganda der Kaiser Caligula and Claudius, p. 132.
