Note Original comment: "The two coins appear to represent the same person, though the vA Index identified them as Agrippina II and Agrippina I respectively. The attribution to Agrippina II depends on the appearance of the portrait, and is not certain. It does, however, seem likely. The coin might perhaps be a small denomination corresponding to the coins of Nero signed by Metrodoros."
