Hey gang - In hand, it looks like Tyche's bust and some sort of animal on the reverse. Also on the reverse I see what appears to be a bird flying as a countermark. I just was wondering if anyone could help me identify this coin and if they know what the countermark represents. Thanks!

Just to clarify, I am assuming this might be a butting bull left? And that has to be someone, probably Tyche, Turreted?

Yes, Joe. Humped bull butting - right, not left. Possibly a lily for the c/m? Tyche or other turreted goddess for the obverse, apparently.

I'll add that I wonder what the small mark behind the hump is - perhaps a head of a figure that pulls against the bull? Thessalos? Herakles?
