Here is another I was able to buy from Agora Auctions. It's not the purddiest, but the reverse image sold me. I'm sure I've seen another example posted here. Here's hoping ya'll like it as much as I do.

WOW, YES! Love the Bull Head! Nice... reminds me of growing up around Cattle... VERY nice coin! My only Mysia Pergamon is a Tet or Cistophoric

 

A great reverse on an interesting coin. Congrats @Bing

 

A great reverse and a lots of eye-appeal .....I like it a lot!!!

 

Yeah, that reverse is pretty sweer

 

Nice coin... I like the bull head alot too. Here's a little Knidos hemidrachm I'm very fond of that's not been shown in awhile.

 

Big-Bro => congrats on scoring that cool OP bull-coin (very cool reverse)

Oh, and your coin is super sweet too, Z-Bro

 

Very nice fat bull

Ok, since @stevex6 broke the TET-Barrier, then I reckon I will post mine too.

I only have one coin from Pergamon Mysia. However, @Bing 's Bull Head is fantastic! I am going to have to find one to complement the SNAKES...


Mysia Pergamon Tetradrachm 85-76 BCE

 

I do love bronze.

 

that's a very nice bull!

they say this is a bull (zebu)...i'm not sure i believe them...but ok. i thought it was a donkey/camel hybrid.

 

Rudolph?

 

I want to jump in! Mine isn't new, or similar type, but it is from the same city:


Pergamon, Mysia
AE, 9.02g, 20mm, 12h
Obv.: helmeted head of Athena right
Rev.: ΝΙΚΕΦΟΡΟΥ left, ΘΗΝΑΣ right; trophy with horned helmet

 

I have one like that @Jwt708 but yours is much heavier. Twice as heavy.
