| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Philip I (the Arab) facing right, presented from a rear three-quarter perspective, a common convention in Alexandrian coinage of the period. The imperial effigy displays the laureate wreath, paludamentum, and segmented cuirass in the provincial style typical of mid-third-century Egyptian tetradrachm-module bronzes. The surrounding Greek legend reads Α Κ Μ ΙΟΥ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟϹ ΕΥϹ, distributed around the periphery of the obverse field. The flan is thick and irregular, characteristic of Alexandrian civic bronze issues of this denomination. Surface patination is a mottled olive-green and brown, consistent with extended burial. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche, the tutelary goddess of Alexandria, depicted reclining to the left upon a garlanded ceremonial couch or kline, a composition emblematic of Alexandrian civic pride. She holds a ship's rudder in her extended hand, symbolizing the maritime dominance and prosperity of the city, while her opposite arm is raised toward her head in a languid, recumbent posture. A palm branch is visible beneath the couch in the lower field, serving as an additional symbol of victory and abundance. The date regnal legend L Ε (Year 5) appears in the field, denoting the fifth year of Philip I's reign in the Alexandrian reckoning, corresponding to 247–248 CE. The reverse field shows moderate wear consistent with the obverse, with the composition legible despite heavy patination. |
