Philip I, Viminacium, Year XI?

[maridvnvm]

This coin came as part of a mixed lot that I have acquired and am working through. I have provided my thoughts in believing that it is a coin of Philip I rather than Philip II. In discussions on this coin elsewhere it was pointed out that in various relatively recent texts on this coinage that there are no year XI coins for Philip I.

Philip 'sestertius' - Viminacium, Moesia Superior, year XI

Obv:- IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG, laureate, draped & curiassed bust right
Rev:- P M S COL VIM, Moesia standing left between bull & lion, AN XI in exergue.
Struck at Viminacium, Moesia Superior, Year 11 (July A.D. 249 - August A.D. 249)

13.96g. 27.40 mm. 0 degrees

The year mark seems to clearly indicate XI. The portrait looks consistent with Philip I with an older looking portrait and I can clearly see a mustache if not a beard (due to surface conditions).

Am I correct in thinking that this is a coin depicting Philip I rather than Philip II and dated to Year 11?

I am sorry if this is well trodden ground but this is outside my collecting area.
Regards,
Martin

Portrait looks older.

Disregarding the older portrait this would be Varbanov 160 for Philip II.  Varbanov does not list a year 11 of this this type for philip I.

In contrast to Varbanov viminacium.nl lists this type for Philip I (with Pick 106 - Martin 2.18.1 as refernce):

and Helveticas list, based on Martins book, lists also Philip I as a possibilty:

maybe someone knowns what Hristova and Jekov  or Boric-Brescovic have written.

Hrisrova - Jekov (2004) lists AN XI for Philip I as "No 43" rated R3.

(Refers to Boric-Brescovic 1044-1048)
