After posting my Agrippina lately, here is her dad on a contemporary bronze, struck by his grandson Caligula. A common coin and his only type...
I thought this would have been a nice alter ego for mine and joined my very first ever live auction for it today but was outbid by far - it went...
Yes, but I found Agrippina not harder to find (or more expensive, for that matter) than a Caligula Sestertius in similar state. Your Agrippina...

The only sad thing is that they won't sell it back to me now :-(. I do love that coin still no matter what it is ...
That is one great coin of yours, Eduard!!! Love the style, detail and patina!

Astonishing 3D boat on the reverse!!!!
Actually there was little competition at the auction so I got it for half of what it probably should have cost :). On the other hand, I find good...
