| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Philip I facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, displaying the emperor's military attire with visible paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The portrait exhibits the characteristic strong-featured physiognomy associated with Philip the Arab, with a short beard and prominent jaw. The Greek imperial titulature encircles the bust within a beaded border, running along the upper and lower periphery of the flan. The engraving style is consistent with Alexandrian provincial workshop production of the mid-third century AD. |
