| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Philip II as Caesar facing right, seen from the front, with short curly hair. The legend surrounding the bust reads Μ ΙΟΥ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟϹ Κ ϹΕΒ, identifying the young prince by his full titulature. The portrait exhibits the compact, youthful features characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage of the mid-third century AD. The cuirass is rendered with visible decorative detailing at the shoulder. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip I became emperor in 244 AD after the death of Gordian III on campaign against Persia — circumstances suspicious enough that Philip himself was widely accused of engineering the young emperor's murder. He moved quickly to negotiate a peace with Shapur I, a settlement Romans considered humiliating, and returned to Rome to consolidate power. The Alexandrian mint, operating under the distinctive Egyptian reckoning year (here Lakenoios Γ, regnal year three), continued producing its tetradrachm-weight billon issues largely undisturbed by the political turbulence in Rome.
The Köln and Dattari references place this piece within a well-documented sequence, with Milne 3698 confirming the British Museum specimen as a close parallel.
