Augustus (27 BC-14 AD) with Agrippa (died 12 BC). AE As, Nemausus mint, 10-14 AD. D/ IMP DIVI F P P. Heads of Agrippa (left) and Augustus (right) back to back; Agrippa wearing combined rostral crown and laurel wreath and Augustus is laureate. R/ COL NEM. Crocodile chained to palm-shoot with short dense fronds and tip left: above on left a wreath with long ties. RIC I (2nd ed.) 159. AE. 11.56 g. 25.5 mm. Minor corrosion spots. Some encrustations and marks. Metal flaw.
This coin type was first issued to commemorate Augustus’ establishment of the colony Colonia Augusta Nemausus in southern Gaul in 27 BC. However, this particular example comes from a later reissue, struck two years after Agrippa’s death. The presence of P P (Pater Patriae) on the obverse indicates it was minted after Augustus received this title in 2 BC, confirming it as a subsequent emission of the well-known 'crocodile dupondius.'.
