Still, it is a nice coin and many more Philip II coins will definitely follow in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think Philip II deserves just as much love as Alexander the Great in history, he shaped a strong Macedon with a strong army, but without Alexander, he probably would have never conquered beyond Anatolia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Enough talk, here is the coin:</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/QjMpq41.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Philip II (359-336 BC).
