No, but he's one of Philip's contemporaries. The guy on my coin is Joseph I, Holy Roman Emperor, who lived from 1678-1711 and reigned from 1705-1711. Here's a quick link with some details about him in case you're interested.
King Philip V is my favorite I have an extensive collection of King Philip V coins, your icon almost looked like my 1733 Gold 8 Escudo.
Philip was a little fatter in the face then your king. LOL
I wish they would make a registry for these types of coins.
I currently have the most extensive private collection, and of course the coins are all the finest of their kind, many being 1 known, all have my pedigree.
And to think, people accuse me of being a "bullion only" guy, go figure.
I have many 100's of coins that are classics, many I keep to myself to enjoy.

Registry set would be quite tough to define for these coins, over 8000 varities were made.
I like the Regensburg thaler, city views are always stunning when well preserved. I'm currently working a run of Hapsburgs to be followed by a seven electors set.

When my collecting days are over these are the only 5 coins I'll keep.
The rest will be sold or donated, hopefully I wont need money by the time I'm 60 that way I can donate them all to the Smithsonian National Collection.
My Kid officially owns all but one of the platinum coins.
I also have a 1606 Netherland gold coin I crossed from an ANACS holder.
I'll have to scan that one as well, it was an MS-62 I've had that one for quite some time, probably wont sell it unless I needed to eat.
The guy I bought it from found it along with a few 1609's using a metal detector near Sleepy Hollow NY, by the Hudson River.
I went there last summer to check out a few spots in the upper Hudson, very freaky when you have grave sites that are dated in the 1500's near the same area where some of these coins came from.
The neatest headstones are in Sleepy Hollow.

That's an impressive list of coins! Stellas are one of my all time favorite US coins. I'd love to see a picture of the coronation medal, I've never seen one before.
If I had stuff like that to donate I'd choose the ANA over the Smithsonian, they do a far better job of displaying the coins.
I figured that. I was just wondering if you had a pic. No rush. She must be a die hard coin collector to have one of those. What else does she collect?
They're medieval English silver pennies, and very nice examples - especially to my eye the one slabbed as AU. Coins rarely had dates on the until the 1500s but a specialist would likely be able to tell if they were early or late examples of the type.
You can tell the mint from the reverse from the lettering "CIVITAS XXXX" where XXXX is the city name, London in your case, and likely spelled "ONDON". At the time these were made they were the only denomination in use - merchants would cut the coins along the cross on the reverse to make half pannies andf farthings.
Super coins to end up with considering you were not looking for them.

What's not cool is that womanless Russ.
I'm not going to sit there and look thru his thousands of posts.
Here's a little something for people that do have some time on their hands.
The first person that can provide me with Russ' post of Kiefer's pic, I'll paypal them $20 bucks.
Russ here's your golden chance to pick up an easy $20 bones.
Darn phone again?
If it's not a telemarketer who can it be?
<< <i>Don't worry Kief you're cool in my book and your coins are also cool >>
Thank you! Russ doesn't like my sample slabs that much.
Cameron Kiefer
Is that King Philip V on your icon?
I guess the lack of a woman does get to him.
Notice how he doesnt even bother to fight back with anyone that says that.
I feel like I have the anti-venom.
Hey Russ, where's Miss Russ?
Hey Russ, since I'm a cubano, why don't you shut up and make way for the bad guy!?

Go to Heritage's auction from June of 2003 you'll see it there it was the only coin to have the obverse and reverse on the cover.
I won that coin raw, and made it myself.
I'll have some super close ups done of that coin soon.
It's in the top 5 of my all time favorites.
How do you like my "coinface" look

You have to wonder how they struck these coins so clean in the 1730's!
My Regensburg Thaler is stunning, when I saw the coin on the auction cover, I had to have it at all costs.
I'm almost tempted to have it reslabbed reverse face up.
Like I said it's in the top 5 favorite all time coins for me.
<< <i>Like I said it's in the top 5 favorite all time coins for me. >>
What rounds out the top five? Platinum?
Here's another from my top 5: Archduke Max, Charles VI and Joseph I's great-great-great uncle:
Currently in an AU55 holder.

That's an easy one to find in my safe.
It's in a very special spot.
I've submitted it to PCGS, DH has seen it twice, both times I was told PCGS does not grade medals.
Funny my Mark Twain Medal graded an MS-68 (which should be a 69) now tell me is that not a medal.
By far my 1701 King Philip V Coronation medal is my favorite non graded (coin medal) of all time.
The experts that have seen it say it's an easy MS-66- MS-67 (as struck)
My 1713 is as struck, and should be sitting in an MS-62 holder. (Ponterio)
If you know what they are let me know.
Don't ask I always end up with these kinds of coins, generally I just put them away.

She actually saw that coin a couple of years ago and fell in love with it, and said I want one of those.
Lucky for me my Platinum has gone up nearly double in the last year, so I was able to afford that and a couple of Judd Pattern coins for her.
The deal is, if we ever split up that would be her coin, I keep the rest.

Thanks for breaking out the scan. I like how the legend refers to Philip being "of France" rather than of the Bourbon family.
Have you tried NGC? I've seen some medals slabbed by them.
-JamminJ
I might do NGC just to keep it from getting damaged.
Pretty interesting medal huh?
When you have time, since you're into this more than I am, let me know what you come up with as far as how many of these exist.
