| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Philip I facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic three-quarter perspective common to provincial coinage of the period. The imperial effigy displays the emperor's military paludamentum and armour in low relief. A circular Greek legend frames the bust in the field. The overall style is consistent with the civic mint output of Sardis under the Conventus of Sardis during the mid-third century AD. |
