KINGS of MACEDON. Philip V. 221-179 BC. Didrachm (Silver, 8.50 g 10), Pella, Ca. 184-179. Diademed head of Philip V to right Rev. ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ Club with one monogram above and two below; all within oak wreath; to left, trident upwards. Mamroth, Philip 22. Rare, especially so nice. With a splendid portrait of the elderly king. Attractively toned, extremely fine.


From the Z collection, Switzerland, ex Numismatica Ars Classica 1, 29 March 1989, 151.

The didrachms of Philip V are well known for their generally worn state; this piece is an amazing exception. The portrait is splendid and the overall condition is truly exceptional.
