How many different types of Alexandrian tets of Philip I can we muster?

Just out of random curiosity, how many types of only the Egyptian tets of only Philip I can we post? I'll start with Tyche...

I must have missed the Alexandria standing coin when you first posted it - it is indeed rare and special, and yours has excellent features!

I've got a year 4 Elpis as well...

 

I have none from Alexandria, and just one from Antioch

 

Philip. 22 mm. 12.33 grams.
Struck year B = 2 = Aug. 29, 244 to Aug. 28, 245
Homonia standing left.
Emmett 3487 year 2. Sear III 9073 with year B instead of A.
Forscher 955. Milne 3538.

 

Here's Alexandria holding a bust of Serapis, year 4...

 

Alexandria. Philip I. Tyche reclining left on lectistern
Alexandria. Philip I. Tyche reclining left on lectistern. 3rd regnal year. Emmett 3515, Milne 3608-10

Some interesting follow-up notes from Tom Barbeau on September 26, 2006 with a re-attribution of the reverse scene from Emmett's description of Tyche reclining on ship with rudder: "The couch apparently may be referred to as lectistern. The gods were invited to a feast of reconciliation at times of upheaval and calamity. The feast was called a lectisternium."

 

These are my Philips:
LA Dikaiosyne Emmett 3477

L gamma Serapis seated with Kerberos and Nike but neither mentioned by Emmett 3508 (probably due to space)

L delta Elpis Emmett 3482 (Must be the most common one!)

LS Nike (unlisted for this year but common for LE)

 

I've got 2 coins. The first is typically Alexandrian because it's made of a special alloy known as "Potin". It contains lead, tin, copper and silver. It has Athena seated on reverse. The second coin weighs 19.3 grams and has Tyche on reverse. It was struck in Antioch.
