Source:     http://agoraauctions.com Grade:     aVF Notes:     (1) Agora Auction 13: Lot No. 47; (2) SNG BN does not list any coins of Philip II from Tarsus, but the youthful portrait leads me to believe that this is the younger Philip. This is the only type attributed to Philip II by the British Museum.
