Thanks to @j1m's sharp eyes, I have another wildman to post from my collection. Here is a Groschen from the German Duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel dated 1572 AD. The wildman is on the rev, standing next to the imperial orb.

Here's one I posted as a topic a couple of years ago.

1613 German States BRUNSWICK-WOLFENBUTTEL Thaler

Wildman is uprooting a tree as described in the book @jdmerm referenced.

Been awhile since this thread was active, but I saw a brass statuette of our Wild Man at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC recently and wanted to add a picture as an update. This piece dates to the 16th Century and is Flemish.
