The specimen of the Waddington collection is this one in the BnF: http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8526427r.r=cibyra?rk=1652368;4
The placement of the legend is not exactly the one on your coin.
But there are several variants of this coin with different monograms an placements of the legend, so your coin probably is some variant of it.

Many thanks Altamura!! It's not the exact match but it's the closest I've seen. Bust and bull are very similar.
