I concur.

Not many may agree but a few of the colorized silver rounds being offered by premium-silver-collectables premium-silver-collectables on ebay looks pretty good.

Have picked up the colorized standing liberty version. The colored Libertads are a tad pricey.

Edited to add a close up picture of the four painted standing liberty silver rounds that I have.

Cuba issued a series of 1-peso coins showing Pirates of the Caribbean (well, some agency issued them for Cuba, as I doubt if these coins actually circulated in Cuba)! I wonder if Anne Bonny really did go around dressed like this?

Thank you to all who have shared their wealth of information on this subject, you have expanded my knowledge in many different ways.

On a side note, for some reason, I feel an urge to move to France now...

To me modern coins showing breasts are tasteless. I think there is some coin from some African country like Guinea or Niger (Some Francophone thing) and it has a big breasted woman called Femme Somba and I consider the tackiest and nastiest coin ever made (Part of that c1970 gold and silver coin set craze in "Third World" countries that ensured such coins will never be worth over melt).

As for the French, well their attitude towards sexuality has always been rather liberal by our British and Northern European standards.


Well, looks like there were more of them - for example - 1964 BAVARIA ARGENTEUS SILVER DUCAT - with the following medal.

Steep price though.

That one sure was new to me. Apparently minted by Tower Mint, London

The below link picture from wiki makes it really intriguing to say the least.

Technically no nipples (...I think - it's hard to tell at this resolution), and in fact technically not even bare breasts, but the Italian 20 centesimi from 1908-1922 looks pretty darn close...

(When I posted it in a Discord chat recently someone said that it looks like she just returned from a wet t-shirt contest.)
