Macedonian Kingdom, Philip II, 359 - 336 B.C.
Bronze AE Unit, SGCV II 6697, aVF, 7.079g, 16.9mm, 0o, Macedonian mint, obverse head of Apollo right wearing taenia; reverse FILIPPOU, young male rider on prancing horse right;

"Philip II expanded the size and influence of the Macedonian Kingdom, but is perhaps best known as the father of Alexander the Great. He personally selected the design of his coins. In 356 B.C., the year Alexander the Great was born, Philip's race horse won in the Olympic Games. The reverse of this type likely depicts his winning horse."

Very Nice Randy! I like it alot, what a wonderful portrait on the obverse, truly beautiful! I want to get some coins of his and of Alexander III eventually.... preferably a tetradrachm, but they are quite pricey for good examples..... someday.... someday.

Oh yes! I have seen many with a less than convincing portrait. Its good to see a lifelike one
