Here's the Old Spanish Trail Half Dollar, a US commemorative coin from 1935. It features the skull of a cow on it's obverse. The skull serves as a metaphor for Cabeza de Vaca, the Spanish exlporer who alledgedly traversed the trail in 1535; "Cabeza de Vaca" translates from Spanish to English as "Head of a cow"). To paraphrase Billy Crystal in Princess Bride - the cow depicted is not "Mostly dead." it's "All dead." But it's still classsifed in the bovine family!
