I'd put money on it, if I had any. There are patterns on the reverse that don't match the obverse at all. I wouldn't know where to begin to look to find out what though.

 

(Almost nekkid lady) 1921 Italy 20 centesimi

 

I can do this theme! Back in the day when I first joined a coin forum (CU in 2003) it was very popular for a time for the so-called BBL collections (bare breasted ladies). My return shot was 'nekkid dudes'. Considering the sovereign fit this category nicely it was not hard to go along with. That said, my collecting interests vary wildly, so here are two quite divergent ones (and going for gender equality I have chosen a man and a woman):

Hercules as he strangles the Lion:


and Leda (of Leda and the Swan) fame:


Shoot, I could do more with just these two myths!

 

I can come up with quite a few for this theme....
AV Aureus ND Rome Mint FDC struck 286AD Rome Mint
Diocletian
Nude Jupiter holding thunderbolt!
AV 10 Thaler 1834-CvC Clausthal Mint

 

Lady Godiva's nude horse ride (kind of hot).



According to wikipedia, the original "Peeping Tom" was some dude in Coventry that liked to gawk at her when she rode by.

Here's the modern clock tower in Conventry, check out ol' Tom up there getting an eye full...lol!

 

Bangkok? No, Italy...

 

Bactria
Diodotus I 230 BC Ai Khanoum Mint
Nude Zeus

 

Baktria, Spalaphores with Spalagadames. Herakles seated left on rock, holding club.
