HOLY COW - THAT LOOKS LIKE A BULL!
Jim Duncan of New Zealand writes: Is not the cow in the left hand medal a male cow - to wit a BULL? The other one on the right is certainly a female bull - a cow. Nice medal though. David Klinger writes: I'm no farmer, but the COW MEDAL you featured last week seems to have a BULL on the obverse, and a COW on the reverse. But, I do think the two-cow mistake was udderly understandable. I also agree that this design presents a good use of enameling.
I suppose I could have headlined this item "CATTLE MEDALLIST", but the word "COW" is much funnier. But not as funny as these responses.
