Sorry I missed the Philip window but here is my Herennia Etruscilla / Tyche tetradrachm of Alexandria.

 

I just get a bonus coin from ancientpeddlar but I cannot get a good picture of it. It is 9mm. On the obv. is a right barehead bust of the emperor, legend ANTomegaNIN---
The reverse is a cista mystica basket half-open to the left with a serpent rising from
the basket. legend: NIKA----I???. Is this Elagabalus or Caracalla? Is it Nicaea, Bithynia or Nicopolis ad Istrum?
