Ex Style Collection (Part 1, Classical Numismatic Group Keystone Auction 1, 20 November 2019), lot 46.
"Philip I comes with a surprising variety of portrait engraving quality. Most of his coins are nice but the portrait, even if of good style, is usually lifeless. Here, as on a select few, the portrait just seems to come to life in your hands." (From the consignor)
