Man-headed bull left???

I have a coin that I believe to be (similar to)
SICILY Gela c.465-450 BC 12 mm., 2.0 gm.,
It shows (Obv.) a bridled horse standing right, and
(Rev.) a man-headed bull left.
(It is similar to SNG ANS 54-61)
The problem is that while most of the bulls face right, mine is facing left, AND while my coin is (appears to be) bronze, most of the (listed) examples are silver.
I have checked CNG, Acsearch, and Wildwinds, so if anyone can help point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Thank-you. (and apologies for the photos - it seems to be a difficult coin to photograph.)

Hmm, I can't make out anything on the reverse. If you think it is MFB, try looking through each city listed on https://manfacedbulls.wordpress.com/ . I've linked their website for bronze MFB coins. They have separate sites for both silver and gold MFBs.

If you remain convinced that your coin does show a MFB and can't find it on that website, write to one of the authors and ask if they can help (they are very nice and would probably be delighted if a new type of MFB was identified). However, you'll need to take a picture which better demonstrates what you are seeing as a MFB.

 

I see forepart of MFB right, something like this:

I think Zumbly is correct. On the OP coin I think the forelegs are visible and they indicate a right-facing bull or MFB.

 

oh yeah, Z is right. i was trying to see a left face there..but it's the flat end of the body.

 

@> zumbly I never for a moment thought that I had the bull facing the wrong way (tunnel vision) but you are absolutely correct when you consider the attitude of the forelegs, and the example you found is spot-on. Thanks.

TIF, I shall examine closely the website that you have pointed me to, today. As always your assistance is invaluable. Thank-you.

Chris, thanks for coming in.

(Now that I can see what you all saw, I am feeling rather 'silly'. Oh, well. . . )

 

Something like this?
This is a known fake.

 

A bronze unit from Panormos, the same variety as the second coin listed here:

Welcome, Nick. Good to hear from you again.

 

Thanks.

Here is my example. I can't seem to upload the pic directly from my phone:
