It's about the size of half $ coin. Perhaps towards the end of its life judging from its tattered wings. Which is this? Here is a collage showing both the upper and undersides of wings.

What a pretty butterfly, I think it's a Large Salmon Arab:

Dinu, I found one refernce to the Small SA saying it could get up to 40 mm, which is close to 1.5"? I'm not sure the width of a half dollar so...maybe it could be a SSA. What do you think?
