| Beschrijving voorzijde | Jugate bare heads of Agrippa (left, wearing a rostral crown) and Augustus (right, bare-headed) facing left, depicted back-to-back in the characteristic double portrait type of the Nemausus coinage. The legend IMP DIVI F P P is distributed around the portraits, with IMP above and P–P flanking the busts on either side. The rostral crown of Agrippa, adorned with a ship's prow finial, is clearly rendered, distinguishing him from the bare-headed Augustus. The composition reflects the collegial authority shared between the two principals and the commemorative nature of this provincial issue. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large crocodile chained to a palm tree occupies the central field, rendered in fine detail with scaled body, open jaws, and a long tail curling toward the lower right. The palm tree rises vertically from the center, its fronds spreading at the top, symbolizing Egypt's conquest by Augustus. The legend COL NEM is divided to either side of the palm tree in the upper field. A wreath or palm branch decorates the upper portion of the design. This distinctive reverse type, commemorating the Roman victory over Egypt, was the defining emblem of coinage struck at the colonial mint of Nemausus (modern Nîmes). |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck at Nemausus (modern Nîmes) in the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis, this issue honors the partnership between Augustus and his son-in-law Agrippa, who died in 12 BC — meaning the coin commemorates a man already dead for years at the time of minting. Nemausus held special significance as a veteran colony, its population seeded largely by soldiers from the Actium and Alexandrian campaigns who received land grants there after 31 BC.
The COL NEM series was struck over several decades in multiple crocodile types, with RIC 160 belonging to the later phase. Die wear and production volume were substantial; Nemausus appears to have supplied much of the small-denomination bronze coinage across southern Gaul during Augustus's final years.
