| Beschrijving voorzijde | Confronted busts of Philip I (Augustus) and Philip II (Caesar), both bare-headed and draped, facing one another at center. The elder Philip appears on the left with a larger, more prominent bust, while the younger Philip II is depicted on the right in smaller scale, consistent with his subordinate rank as Caesar. A circular Greek legend surrounds the paired effigies, reading Μ ΙΟΥΛΙΟϹ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟϹ ΚΑΙ ϹΑΡ ΑΥΓ. The composition is typical of the Moesian provincial coinage of Marcianopolis, which frequently employed facing or confronted imperial busts on its larger bronze denominations. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip II was elevated to caesar by his father Philip I in 244, shortly after the latter's accession following the death of Gordian III on the Euphrates campaign. Marcianopolis, the principal city of Moesia Inferior, was one of the most prolific provincial mints of the Severan and post-Severan period, and continued issuing under the Philips with little interruption. The pentassarion denomination — five asses — represents the heavyweight end of Marcianopolitan bronze production, struck for local circulation in a region where Roman imperial coinage circulated alongside civic issues.
