Seleucia ad Calycadnum. A coin of Philip I, 244-249

[Valentinian]

Seleucia ad Calycadnum was a city in Cilicia founded under Seleucus I. Now it is called Silifke.  (Map from Wikipedia)

Here is a Roman provincial coin from Seleucia ad Calycadunm. (Calycadnum is the name of a river: "Seleucia on the river Calycadnum.")
 

This coin is a whopping 37.3 to 36.2 mm and 26.17 grams.
AVT K M IOVΛΙΟΨ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟC CEB, radiate, draped, cuirassed bust of Philip I right. (Julia in the legend is a family name of Philip)
CEΛEVKEΩN TΩN ΠPOCTΩKAΛ
EΛEVΘEP in exergue, Confronted busts of Artemis/Tyche (with modius) and Apollo, small branch between.
Letters between the busts uncertain, maybe KAK/AC
SNG Levante 777-8, SNG France 2, 1039-1042 (all with different letters between the busts, none with this combination)

To grasp the size, here it is with a US half dollar:

Oh a fantastic & interesting coin! Congratulations!

That’s a beauty…great coin!  I have a big bronze from there as well, though not nearly as impressive as that monster (37mm!) of a flan.  My coin was struck a few years later under Treb. Gallus, and has a similar reverse type.

Trebonianus Gallus, Cilicia, Seleucia ad Calycadnum, 251-253 AD (AE, 32.5mm., 15.99g.), Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Trebonianus Gallus to right/ Rev. Busts of Apollo and Artemis-Tyche facing each other, branch between them, RPC IX 1332.

Very nice example, @Valentinian! I have two coins of the city, a Apollo-Artemis type and a gigantomachy type.

Great portrait for a provincial bronze ☺️!

[Ancient Coin Hunter]

I'm wondering how the OP coin would be tariffed to the sestertius?

Does the radiate crown equate to a double sestertius (as T. Decius struck)?

I can't compete with 37mm 😉
