JUDAEA, Caesarea Maritima. Agrippa I. 37-43 CE. Æ (21.5mm, 6.92 g, 12h). Dated RY 7 (42/3 CE). [BA]ⳞIΛEYⳞ MEΓAⳞ AΓPIΠΠAⳞ [ΦIΛOKAI], diademed and draped bust right / KAIⳞAPAI H ΠPOⳞ TΩ ⳞEBAⳞTΩ ΛIMENI, Tyche standing left, holding rudder in right hand and palm frond in left; L Z (date) to right. Meshorer 122; Hendin 6276; RPC I 4985; Sofaer 165. Earthen brown surfaces, light cleaning marks, metal flaw on reverse. Near VF. Very rare, one of the finest known.

From the J. K. Biblical Collection, purchased from J.P. Fontanille, January 2013. Ex Archaeological Center 14 (18 April 1995), lot 15.

This very rare and important piece of Agrippa I depicting his own portrait is among the finest known for the type, better than the Hendin and Meshorer plate coins, with a superb portrait on the obverse and a remarkably complete reverse. Two specimens were sold at the second Shoshana collection sale (lots 20078–9), but they were much poorer than the present coin, and affected by corrosion.

The final winners of all Triton XXVII lots will be determined at the live public sale that will be held on 9-10 January 2024.

Triton XXVII – Session Two – Lot 338–647 will be held Tuesday afternoon, 9 January 2024 beginning at 2:00 PM ET.
