Historical and Biblical Context
Herod Agrippa I was a grandson of Herod the Great and an ally of the Roman emperors Caligula and Claudius. His reign is associated with events described in Acts 12, including the execution of James and the imprisonment of Peter. Unlike portrait-bearing Roman coins, this Judaean issue uses a royal canopy and agricultural imagery, reflecting the cultural and political setting in which it circulated.
Condition and Selection
Ancient coins were individually struck by hand and circulated nearly two thousand years ago. Each surviving example is unique, with natural differences in centering, strike, surface texture, color, patina, wear, and visible design details. The image is representative of the coin type and general supplier-designated condition. The NGC certification number, label details, and exact coin received may vary.
A meaningful collectible for students of ancient Judaea, Biblical history, Jewish coinage, and the Roman world, professionally encapsulated for protected study and display.
