Nlce coin, but I believe that it is actually Philip II as Caesar instead of as Augustus. Your coin was issued in year 3 (L gamma). Philip II did not begin issues as Augustus in Alexandria until late in his fourth year, and these are few (Emmett lists three types) and rare (one is Rarity 4 and the other two are Rarity 5).
