    I cant figure out if this is Phillip I or Phillip II.
    Can anyone steer me in the right direction on this one please?
    Looks to me to be Phillip I but it is listed as Phillip II

    Traditionally, the bearded portraits have been attributed to Philip I and the beardless to Philip II. This is probably not true in all cases, though.

    Looks like Philip I to me.

    I vote for Phillip I. I don't think Phillip the younger made it past 10 or 11 years of age.

    I agree but there are some PI dies with no beard IMO. I can see no possibility that PII had that beard. This is my Philip II.

    So, I vote Philip I for your coin, bcuda

    I had to use die-matching and comparison to high-grade examples to determine this one was Philip II:
