<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 5402569, member: 82549"]The thing is, the bull is clearly facing us. You can clearly see the horn and the ear on the left side of the head. So the blob to the right of the head can't be a right-facing face like on the coin at the very top of this page. So we have to assume that, if it's a mfb, it's a facing mfb, and without more detail, it is impossible to distinguish between the two possibilities unless a second one turns up with less wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looks like a hump on that very topmost bull, too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
