Nice coin!

 

Bust type is rare, but not unknown: Strack 342, bust gamma, cites specimens in Vienna and L.A. Lawrence collection.

 

Another, from the same die pair as yours: Lanz Graz IV, 1974, 230.

Thanks Curtis, description updated. I actually own the Lanz Graz IV 1974 catalog as you counselled it to me, but hadn't check it!
