Shouldn't this thread be labelled as PG18+ only? 
Beautiful coin....ummm a little revealing but then art is. (I don't mean this

Its a little off topic, but I came across a book a few years ago during a haitus in collecting. I didn't buy it. Now I wish I had and I'll pick up a copy when I find one at a good used price. The book is American Venus: The Extraordinary Life of Audrey Munson Model and Muse. She's the model for many fine American sculptures, medals, etc in the earlier part of the 20th century. For example, she was the model for the walking liberty half. It seems she was quite comfortable naked (I did skim the book, pictures and all, I have no problem with naked ladies!) and shocked many in her day with her comfort.
In any event, its somewhat off topic, but I was surprised to learn so much about the art community of the period (and this is just from the picutes, I didn't read the text). Its a book that may not have come to much attention in the numismatics community, yet it is directly related to what we collect.
I hate to throw a serious note on this thread, but it is an interesting one. Now, if you want to branch out from coins into the world of the art medal----it really gets interesting (male or female, whatever your pleasure). Meanwhile, I just got interested in Swiss coins.

No, no, don't get interested in Swiss coins... please.

I have that book. It is quite interesting. Especially how the moralists were just about to score the great coup of Prohibition. While at the peak of their power, art allready predicted their downfall. The book does contain pictures of the Mercury Dime and Walker as well as many nude photos, so it is entirely apros pro to this thread

Ok, silly question to add into all the levity! Where is the Republic of Paulu? I have never heard of it before, so I didn't know if it was a micronation or what!

Tell your husband that they would make good tractor tires, and maybe he will get interested in coins too.
When this topic first started, it reminded me of a site I had come across, but alas I could not find it again. I thought it was at the French mint, but no luck. Then tonight, I was visiting the French site and clicked on something that took me to the link. Before I lose it again, the following link will take you to the mint's exhibition of nudes on medals.

The text is in French, but you should be able to decipher the pictures.
(Seriously, its worth a visit if you like medallic arts.)

Links at the middle of the Top.
Then click on Currency.
You want section 5000.
Look at the $5 Silver Certificates and other notes in the "Educational" (Blanche Dubois) series.
(use the individual item search)
Search for the words spintria and tessera on Google, Wildwinds or CoinArchives. These were supposedly "Roman brothel tokens." Much speculation surrounds them.
Tessera might mean "fourth" most likely direct from Greek, or might mean "corner" or therefore "cut" -- (the same as "coin" comes from "wedge" for the shape of the die) -- or something similar. Tessera are also identified as admission tickets to theaters and games. As such, they are ancient tokens, independent of any other considerations.

Not to forget the nekkid Heracles on the reverse of the Thasos tetradrachms of ancient Greece. The ancients were less inhibited than us. :-)

The only shame to nakedness was that it meant that you could not afford a cloak.
(If we had to walk around naked, more people would have memberships in "sweatshops.")
As late as 150 BC, Marcus Porcius Cato Censorius worked naked in his fields, alongside his slaves. That was recorded by Plutarch about 80 AD, and it was only an example of Cato's willingness to do hard work.
The assimilation of Jewish values through Christianity changed the Hellenic-Romanic worldview. Independent of that, of course, the barbarian invasions might have had a similar result. Coming from cold climates, the Germans wore pants. On the other hand, when the Hellenes and Latins came down into the Mediterranean basin a couple thousand years previous, they shed their clothes. So, it is difficult to predict the alternate history.
Also, Greek coins tended to portray naked gods, not goddesses, and the goddess's pudicity was never revealed, of course.
If you start with any coffee table book on Greek coins -- G. K. Jenkins's for instance -- you can then go to Coin Archives or Wildwinds and find many nudes.
