<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 5132642, member: 75937&quot;]I do enjoy a nice Philip antoninianus. This is one of my favorites -- I like the reverse design and the use of officina marks. It was one of a large number of coins issued for the Ludi Novae Saeculares (&quot;Games of the New Age&quot; or the &quot;Millennial Games&quot;) of AD 248, which marked the 1,000th anniversary of Rome&#039;s foundation.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/philip-i-virtvs-avgg-antoninianus-savoca-jpg.1177916/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Philip I, AD 244-249.</p><p>Roman AR Antoninianus, 23mm, 3.93 g, 7h.</p><p>Rome mint, 5th officina, 8th emission, AD 248.</p><p>Obv: IMP PHILIPPVS AVG, radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right.</p><p>Rev: VIRTVS AVGG, Philip I and II on horseback galloping right; Є below.</p><p>Refs: RIC IV 10; RSC 241a; RCV 8976; Hunter 43.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an elephant, another one of my favorites!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/philip-i-aeternitas-avgg-elephant-antoninianus-jpg.775508/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Philip I, AD 244-249.</p><p>Roman AR Antoninianus, 3.73 g, 22.4 mm, 7 h.</p><p>Rome, AD 247.</p><p>Obv: IMP PHILIPPVS AVG, radiate and draped bust, right.</p><p>Rev: AETERNITAS AVGG, elephant guided by mahout with goad and wand, walking left.</p><p>Refs: RIC 58; Cohen 17; RCV 8921; Hunter 31.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
