<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4581587, member: 19463&quot;]The reverse of this coin is not bad compared to what I find online but the bird on the left seems less common than an owl on the right.&nbsp; Sear 5619 shows the bird left.&nbsp; I am not convinced from the few/poor coins I&#039;ve seen whether the reverse bull is being ridden or having it&#039;s head twisted as in bulldogging.&nbsp; Finding a high grade coin would help.&nbsp; If the coin were mine, I would feel obligated to find something about that scene as it relates to that city or region.&nbsp; For example, did they have a festival that involved bull-sports?&nbsp; Is there a historical connection with Aphrodite and bulls in the mythology of that region?&nbsp; I am spared all this work because the coin is not mine.&nbsp;&nbsp; Enjoy it and all the work that comes with the package.&nbsp; Identifying is only the first question to be addressed when we get a new coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
