Comment
Magistrate of Montanus (duovir) and Scipio (duovir).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Agrippina I, the mother of the Roman emperor Nero, on one side, and a depiction of Scipio and Montano, two Roman consuls, on the other side. This coin was minted during Agrippina's reign as empress, which lasted from 37 to 41 AD, and it is believed to be one of the earliest coins to feature a woman's image.
