| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of Agrippina II (the Younger) facing right, depicted with an elaborate coiffure and drapery rendered in relief typical of Cretan provincial coinage. The legend ΑΓΡΙΠΠΙΝΗ ΓΥ(Ν) ΤΙ ΚΛΑΥΔΙΟΥ ΚΑΙ(ΣΑ) — identifying her as the wife of Tiberius Claudius Caesar — encircles the bust. The provincial workmanship reflects the Gortynian mint's style of the mid-first century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gortyn, the dominant city of Crete under Roman rule and seat of the provincial governor, struck this issue to honor Agrippina the Younger at a politically charged moment — almost certainly tied to her marriage to Claudius in 49 AD and her rapid elevation to a prominence no emperor's wife had held in a generation. The city had every incentive to flatter: Gortyn's status as provincial capital depended on maintaining favor with the imperial house.
Agrippina's name appears in the Greek nominative, a small but telling grammatical choice that places her as subject rather than consort.
