| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Agrippina the Elder facing right, bare-headed, with her distinctive hairstyle arranged in a long plait descending behind the neck, rendered in fine portrait style typical of Julio-Claudian imperial coinage. The effigy is shown in profile with carefully delineated facial features reflecting the posthumous idealized portraiture favored under the reign of Claudius. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Latin capitals, identifying the subject by her lineage and dynastic connections. |

Claudius struck this posthumous sestertius honoring his mother Agrippina the Elder — who had died in 33 AD under circumstances that implicated Tiberius, having been exiled to Pandateria and, according to Tacitus, effectively starved to death. The rehabilitation of her memory was politically useful for Claudius, who leaned on his Julian bloodline to legitimize a reign that began awkwardly when the Praetorian Guard found him hiding behind a curtain after Caligula's assassination.
RIC 102 is among the more frequently encountered of Claudius's memorial issues, struck consistently across the early 50s.
