Dec-03-01


laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Philip II facing right,
with legends IMP.M.IVL.PHILIPPVS.AVG. The reverse features Philip I and
Philip II seated left on curule chairs, with legends LIBERALITAS.AVGG.III.
This type was minted to mark the third donative of the reign of Philip I,
which was held to mark the proclamation of Philip II as Augustus. Coin
shows a little striking weakness, but otherwise grades AVF, with clear to
bold devices and legends where struck up, and attractive green patina. A
very pleasing example of this scarcer historical type, 
RIC-267.
