Obverse: "IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG" Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right. Mint and Year: unknown - undated (AD 244) Weight: 3.61 grams Die axis: 165 degrees Rarity: Only known silver specimen. One other specimen, in bronze is known. Reverse: "LAETITIA FVLMENNAT" Laetitia (Joy, Gladness) standing left, foot on prow, holding patera and rudder. Note: The style of this coin and its unique reverse legend suggest that it is an ancient forgery from the eastern providences. A loose translation would be Joy to the thunderbolt thrower. A very interesting coin. A second specimen, from the same dies but bronze, was recently offered in auction. |
