| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Philip I (Philip the Arab) facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic three-quarter perspective common to mid-third century provincial coinage. The imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial style of the Ephesian mint, with pauldron detail visible on the cuirass. The encircling Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits a heavy brown-green patina consistent with long burial, with the portrait visible through significant surface corrosion. |
