[QUOTE="Parthicus Maximus, post: 4020563, member: 102867"]I was happy to help you [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER]. What interesting is to note is that there is no known of this in the Reka Devnia hoard. After having done some more study of this type, I noticed something else. Almost all types including David's specimen show a large mature bull. However, when we look at yours and mine too, we see a less hefty bull. What I wonder is whether the big difference in engraving only has to do with the different mint workers. Both of our coins seem at least an reverse die match. But I also not exclude that our coins with the younger Bull are an different type or variant. What do you think of this theory?
