TYPE Ancient Greece, Philip II of Macedon (359-336 BC), bronze AE14 DESCRIPTION . Obv: Head of young Herakles to right, clad in lion skin Rev: Youth on prancing horse, Greek legend [PHILIPPOU] above (off flan), arrowhead below REFERENCE: Dra 260 var., Mu 7118v, cf. Mul 173 (rev. w/ symbol); Gae XXXI,14 GRADING: VF+, glossy dark brown patina, scarce ORDER INFO: G3123, $80 Far less common than the usual bronzes of Philip II with the Apollo obverse are the ones that feature a young Herakles of the style familiar from the subsequent reign of Alexander the Great, while retaining the youth on horse (possible pun on Philip's name) reverse. Although the reverse strike here is such that the legend was not struck up - still a choice example (in terms of style, centering, patina and preservation) of a scarce type.
