| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Philip I facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, with the paludamentum fastened at the shoulder visible beneath the cuirass. The emperor's bearded portrait is executed in the vigorous provincial style characteristic of Mysian civic coinage of the mid-third century. A Greek imperial legend runs around the periphery of the field. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, as typical of large civic bronzes from this region and period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip I's reign coincided with Rome's millennial celebrations of 248 AD, and provincial mints across the eastern empire struck heavily during this period — partly as civic participation, partly as a practical response to demand for small-denomination bronze where imperial coinage rarely reached in sufficient quantity. Lampsacus, strategically positioned on the Hellespont, had long punched above its weight as a minting city given its commercial importance to trans-straits trade.
The magistrate named in the legend, Aurelius Markos, is attested on several Lampsacene issues of this reign, suggesting a tenure of some duration under Philip.
