According to Hendin, this coin as well as Hendin 1276, was issued to commemorate Agrippa's refounding of Caesarea Paneas as Neronias. It was once believed that the IE in the reverse legend referred to a date but this is not the case, instead it is the abbreviation for the name of the mint city Neronias.
