Although Agrippa II appears to have reigned until at least 100 CE, his coinage stops with this issue of his year 35. It is possible that the royal authority to strike coinage was abrogated after the death of Domitian and the end of the Flavian line, who had been his strong benefactors. All other published coins of this year give the date as EL rather than LE.
