New Purchases, Philip I - His Crown is big

I think he is overcompensating, and he has some chick with a whip - I'm thinking Freaky Guy.

How does the coin look?  I love the detail - opinions please!

Another nice portrait. I suspect they never actually wore these crowns.

What material would they have been made of? Must have resembled the golden rays of the sun. If it were gold, they must have been insufferably heavy!
None in a museum.....?

If you look at the ties, it was a sort of fancy diadem.
