Radiate charioteer driving galloping biga to right; inverted lyre below. Cf. D. Allen, "The Philippus in Switzerland and the Rhine Land" SNR 53, 1974, pl. 10, 75. Cf. SLM 940-1. Cf. Wien 339. Well-centered and darkly toned. An apparently unpublished variant. Very fine.

An enigmatic coin copying Philip II's stater issues, but on a large tetradrachm-sized silver flan at the weight of an Attic didrachm.
