| Obverse description | Bare head of Agrippa facing right, rendered in a plain, unadorned provincial style typical of Laconian civic coinage of the Augustan period. The portrait is set within a broad, flat field with minimal relief. The abbreviated Greek legend ΑΓΡ appears in the field, identifying the subject as Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, close ally and son-in-law of Augustus. |

| Reverse description | A caduceus — the winged staff of Hermes entwined with serpents — depicted upright and centrally placed within the field, rendered in the summary style characteristic of provincial Laconian bronzes of the Augustan era. The Greek legends ΛΑ and ΕΥΡΥΚΛΕ appear flanking the caduceus, identifying the issuing authority as the Laconians under the magistracy of C. Julius Eurykles, the prominent Spartan dynast and Roman client ruler. |
