A bronze horseman. Philip II was the father of Alexander the Great. This coin has nice details and a slightly dark chestnut patina. Kings of Macedonia, Phillip II Maybe Macedonia Mint, 359-336 BC Obv. Head of Apollo left, hair bound in taenia. Rev. Youth on horse right.
I must admit that I surprised at the thickness of this coin. Mine is facing to the left and all the others I’ve ever seen were facing to the right.
Nice snare @Collecting Nut ... I understand there are bunches of devices and variances... I have OBV / REV facings: I really enjoy these little guys...
