| Beschrijving keerzijde | An eagle stands facing, with head turned to the right and wings spread upward and outward in a heraldic pose, holding a wreath in its beak. The bird's powerful plumage is rendered with fine feather detailing across the breast and wings. Beneath the eagle, in the lower field, the mint name ΑΝΤΙΟΧΙΑ appears, with the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consulto) inscribed in the exergue below. The tribunician and consular titles of Philip I form the surrounding legend along the coin's periphery. |

Philip I struck this issue at Antioch during 248 AD, the year Rome celebrated its thousandth anniversary — the Ludi Saeculares — an event Philip organized with considerable political investment, minting a substantial commemorative series in Rome while the eastern provincial mints continued their own outputs largely uninterrupted. The Antioch billon tetradrachms of this period are notable for the dramatically debased silver content inherited from decades of crisis-era debasement, rendering them functionally a token coinage despite retaining the tetradrachm denomination.
Philip was dead within a year, killed at Verona fighting the usurper Decius.
