| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Philip I facing right, presented from a rear three-quarter perspective, with the emperor's military attire rendered in low relief. The obverse legend encircles the effigy along the periphery of the flan, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The flan shows characteristic irregularity typical of provincial bronze coinage of the mid-third century AD. |
