“Memoriae Agrippinae"

The phrase translates to "to the memory of Agrippina". These coins were minted by her son, Caligula, to commemorate her and were used for propaganda, showing a draped bust of Agrippina on one side and a carpentum (a ceremonial chariot) on the other. And it refers to a Roman coin type, specifically a sestertius, that honors Agrippina the Elder after her death.

And we see Sestertius of Agrippina Senior. (28.40 g). Rome mint. Struck under Gaius (Caligula), AD 37-41. Scripted: AGRIPPINA • M • F • MAT • C • CAESARIS AVGVSTI, draped bust right / S P Q R above, MEMORIAE/AGRIPPINAE in two lines high in left field, carpentum drawn left by two mules, the cover supported by standing figures at the corners, and with ornamented side; six spokes in wheel.
