Left-looking Philippus - roman silver antoninianus coin [solved]

Hello,

I'd like to kindly ask you to help me with the identification and estimating the value of this roman coin. I found similar but right-looking examples on the internet but no left-looking one. Thanks a lot. 

 

Hi,

Look here Reference RIC 76

Thanks Tatinos, I was also looking for the answer, but at OCRE.

 

And with that, I must say that something is amiss.

On Wildwinds, the RIC 76 entry says portrait looking left, but on our catalog (N#282155 ) and at the RIC catalog on OCRE (https://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.4.ph_i.76) their RIC 76 entries says portrait looking right. There's an information conflict here.

dear Tatinos, thank you very much for the useful info precisely addressing my needs!
