Dear Zeeuwsepiep and Board,
You have a Macedonian bronze of
Philip II with an uncertain
monogram below the
horse. The color of the metal on many of these coins would seem to indicate a
type of brass was used, but keep in mind that in classical
numismatics, bronze could mean almost any
alloy where copper is the predominant component. One notable exception, of course, is a copper
alloy with less than 50% silver. This is known as "
billon."
Hope this helps.
Best regards and Merry
Christmas!
