| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of Athena facing right, wearing a crested helmet and aegis adorned with scaled texture across the shoulder. The regnal year mark L Β (Year 2, corresponding to 244–245 AD) appears in the right field, a characteristic feature of Alexandrian provincial dating conventions. The design is executed in low relief typical of Alexandrian billon tetradrachms of the mid-third century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip I's accession in 244 AD followed the murder of Gordian III during the Mesopotamian campaign — almost certainly with Philip's own involvement. Alexandria's mint, which had operated a closed currency system requiring all incoming silver to be exchanged for local tetradrachms, continued producing its provincial coinage uninterrupted through the transition. The "L Β" regnal date notation, marking year two of Philip's reign, places this piece squarely in the first full Egyptian administrative year under the new emperor.
