| Additional information |
This issue belongs to the Roman monetary reform of 23 BC, under which Augustus reorganized the bronze coinage and delegated its production to a board of junior magistrates — the tresviri monetales. Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, whose name this coin bears, was by 7 BC long dead, having died in 12 BC. The appearance of his name on coinage issued years after his death reflects posthumous commemoration of Augustus's closest general and son-in-law, whose political importance the emperor clearly had no interest in letting the public forget.
