    Second rarest coin in my collection. Caupolicán featured on obverse was a prominent war leader of the Mapuche people of Chile (Southern region) during the first rising against the Spanish from 1553 to 1558. He was captured and executed in 1558, impaled while his wife was forced to watch. The Mapuche people were never conquered by the Spanish. Given the impaling part, one could not resist thinking who were the "cavemen" here.

    Nice coin, Ripley! But I guess that posting it here redefines the term "caveman". ;)

    Mr. Ripley!
    It's not a cavegirl! It's a Dutchman Jan van Riebeeck:D
    I remembered one joke.
    Once to the psychotherapist the patient came.
    - Hallo, Doc. I think, I am a voyeur!
    - Why do you think so?
    - Because I am raised when I examine the photo of this girl. When I see her curly blonde hair and her beautiful blue eyes... Please tell me, Doc: am I the voyeur?
    - No. Sir. You aren't a voyeur. You are a gay. Because it is not a photo of your girl but a portrait of the general George Armstrong Custer
    :D

    Just realized that nobody has posted a "Wild Man" coin here. :p Well, this image is from Wikipedia, but it sure is on-topic here:

    HILARIOUS!! but still, I think Romney probably wouldn't improve the economy either.

    A real 'He Man'. And without 'horns' to boot. Ripley, the Vikings didn't have horns on their helmets. The depiction of horns came from the poor locals who had to deal with the invader onslaught, and characterized the outlanders as 'devils'...........
