Anatomically, I think that's a bull. An ox would have shorter horns and have a heftier build. At least that's the appearance.
Throughout the better part of my life I have always been attracted to ideas of what constitutes the ideas of beauty, that which appeals to the...
Another interesting note about your coin is that the reverse served as the prototype of the seated Britannia design used on modern British coins....

Beautiful reverse!
I paid a premium for this coin, but it was worth the cost. This is one of the nicer imitation tetradrachms that I have seen in a while - good...
