Note No image of the obverse of this coin type exists, but according to the description given in the Hirsch catalogue (notably, the break in the legend: ΑΥΤ Κ Μ ΙΟΥ ΦΙ–ΛΙΠΠΟϹ ϹƐΒ), the obverse could be identical to the one used for type https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/58864. The restitution of the reverse legend is tentative, especially as one would have expected ΑΡΧΙƐΡƐΩϹ instead of ΑΡΧ[ΙƐ]ΡƐΩΝ.
