Æ25 - Herod Agrippa I

Struck in year 8 of Agrippa's reign (42–43 CE), this issue dates to the final year of his rule — he died suddenly in 44 CE at Caesarea Maritima under circumstances described in both Josephus and the Acts of the Apostles. His kingship was the last time a single ruler governed the whole of Judea before Rome dissolved the client monarchy and returned the territory to direct prefectural administration under Cuspius Fadus.

Agrippa consistently avoided imagery that would offend Jewish sensibilities in his Judean issues, a calculated political distinction from the coins he struck for his non-Jewish territories.
