The obverse legend, not fully visible on my coin, is BACIΛEΩC AΓPI<font size="6">Π</font>A - however on all Agrippa I coins the name is spelled with double Π . On Agrippa II coins the name is spelled with a single Π. </p><p>If this is correct, this coin is actually struck during the Jewish War.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
