| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Philip II facing right, portrayed from behind, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and the cuirass rendered in fine detail. The youthful imperial effigy is set within a beaded border, with the Latin legend disposed around the periphery of the field. The portrait style is consistent with provincial workshop production of the mid-third century AD. |
