This outstanding coin is one of a very small group of staters struck in the name of Philip II which bear portraits of individuals rather than generic heads of Apollo. Most were struck from the 3rd century, however the identities of the people portrayed are very often uncertain (Philip V, Nabis of Sparta, Hierax and various tyrants have been suggested).
