Yes.

This "coin" is from the set entitled "The Four Great Beauties of Ancient China" and commemorates "Xi Shi" (西æ-½). Xi Shi lived around 500 BC near the end of the "Spring and Autumn Period".

According to legend, her beauty was so great that if fish caught a glimpse of her they would forget how to swim and sink to the bottom.
