FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 10/29/2023 6:23 pm It is actually Phillip II as Caesar (KECAP) AD 244-7 With the honorific CEB (SEBASTIAN) it would date to AD 247-49 While the condition of this coin is not unappealing . Remember that these coins were produced in impressive quantities in reasonably good silver and at a time of inflation Within a decade silver coin had virtually disappeared in the western empire These tetradrachms were frequently hoarded and can often be found in a near uncirculated condition (bad money chases out good money !) I would grade it at no better than Fine Report this Post to the Staff
