                                Description

     This piece was minted during the reign of Philip I, who ruled
     from 244-249 AD. Philip was the praetorian prefect under Gordian
     III, and was responsible for the young emperor's murder in 244
     AD, after which he was declared emperor by the army. His reign is
     noted for the conclusion of a satisfactory peace with the
     Persians, and for the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of
     the founding of Rome in 248 AD. Philip and his son were killed at
     the battle of Verona while fighting the rebel armies of Trajan
     Decius. The obverse of this type depicts the radiate, draped, and
     cuirassed bust right of Philip, with legends
     IMP.M.IVL.PHILIPPVS.AVG. The reverse features Victory advancing
     left, holding wreath and palm, with legends VICTORIA.AVG. Coin
     shows a little striking weakness, but otherwise grades a super
     Near FDC, with bold devices and legends, only the lightest wear,
     and nearly full mint lustre. A lovely museum quality example of
     the type, catalouged as RSC-231. All coins guaranteed genuine
     without limitations. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped
     on clearance of funds. PA residents please add appropriate sales
     tax. MC/Visa accepted for orders of $20 or more. Member ANA, PAN.
