[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 5438274, member: 83845"]That is quite a nice coin with a great provenance to boot! Wonderful coin Terrance! You have an eye for wonderfully artistic coins! Interesting. So the children might be associated with the temple and not the royal family? Perhaps the music can partly explain how that bull is so calm looking despite his rather unenviable situation. :singing::headphone::facepalm: ...also nice coin! Wow to that Philip Terence That is quite the portrait. My favorite Philip isn’t so impressive as the wonderful coins you have both shown from a grade perspective (I like it for the tone, type and provenance) but even it has a nice style in my opinion.

AD 245 Dia.: 23 mm Wt.: 4.36 g Obv.: IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG; Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right Rev.: ADVENTVS AVGG; Philip on horseback left, raising right hand and holding spear Ref.: RIC IV 26b Ex David Kallai (ca. 1908-1924); Ex AMCC 2, lot 194 (Nov. 9, 2019)[/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]1236598[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
