I have not posted a new coin for a while, cause I did not have one. This is a Phillip I Arab from Cilicia. Tarsos, bronze. 31 mm. 244-249 AD.It is called a medallic type… please help me with that term and catalog number. Also reverse? Rich
I feel like the term medallion is applied to many large provincials with out much guidance. It seems like a standard circulation issue and not a special medal
Elpis (Spes) standing left, holding flower and raising hem of robe.? ooops @ancientone beat me to it...
Big 3rd century provincial bronzes are great. Lots of interesting types even more so than sesterces and within 10 years of Philip's reign they disappeared...
