JUDAEA, Neapolis. Philip I. 244-249 CE. Æ (28mm, 11.33 g, 6h). Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Laureate bust of Zeus right, slight drapery on left shoulder, set on eagle standing left, head and tail right, with wings displayed. Harl 91 corr. (unlisted dies); Meshorer, City Coins –; SNG ANS 1015; Rosenberger 78. Near VF, dark green desert patina.

From the Patrick H.C. Tan Collection.

Harl incorrectly identifies the obverse die of Rosenberger 78 as A18, which is an obverse of Philip II. This coin, and the Rosenberger specimen, clearly have a bust of Philip I. Harl also does not list this reverse type, instead listing Rosenberger 78 under the same reverse as Rosenberger 103.
