Acheloios Reshoots

I reshot several of my man-faced bulls today, seeing as I'm snowed in. I think if numismatists ever unite to form a sports team, the mascot should be the man-faced bull. I'm surprised no one has ever used it before.

Sicily, Katane, featuring Acheloios Amenanos (rare):



Sicily, Kersini, featuring Acheloios Halykos (2 of the six known to exist, first one is a plate coin):
