I've found it intriguing that the Polish coins with Stefan Batory's image always show those two hairy moles on the right side of his face (also visible in the painting).
I guess he wasn't vain.

Faustina the Younger. Roman Empress and wife of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius.

She appears to have been a fascinating woman and the Dupondius in my collection preserves the enigmatic, even saucy expression on her face.
A gaze from across two millennia of years.

A lot of great examples here!
here is a ZAR (South African Republic before the British conquest) President Paul Kruger on an 1897 shilling and on a picture post card dated 1907 probably taken when he was in exile.
