The one featuring a man-faced bull is undoubtedly fake.

"The one featuring a man-faced bull is undoubtedly fake."

Thx !

Is this fake struck with modern dies on an authentic worn coin?
Or is the whole coin with its patina artificial?

Help is appreciated !!!!


Best regards,

I'm not sure if the flan is authentic (edit: but I doubt it).  All I know is the style is wrong, so fake modern dies.
