Notes:
Rare. Noted by a beardless Perseus on the obverse and the absence of control marks within the wreath on the reverse, the rare tetradrachms of Philip's second series had originally been attributed by Gaebler (in AMNG) to Philip VI Andriskos. Gaebler's attribution was based primarily on his analysis of a number of coins he examined in Berlin upon which he saw apparent traces of undertypes. He concluded that the undertypes were the LEG MAKEDONWN tetradrachms, which were issued contemporary to the revolt of Andriskos. Gaebler also noted the crude die engraving of this issue compared to the types attributed to Philip V. M. Thompson suggested problems with this theory in her analysis of a hoard from Northern Greece dating to the first half of the second century BC
