Roman Silver Antoninianus
This is a Roman Antoninianus (a silver double denarius) of Philippus II (Philip II), who reigned as Caesar and then Augustus alongside his father, Philip the Arab, from approximately 244–249 AD.
The coin is identifiable by the radiate crown (the spikes on his head), which was the standard mark of an Antoninianus.
