Yes or no, depending on semantics.
The Olympics silver dollar (1992 or 1996, not sure) showed headless statue figures of a nude male and female figure. Actual unnamed Olympians were the models.

Yes actually but more nuanced so far as the design goes...(on this coin)

Their national symbol is a well armed hot chick with an attack lion.
I wouldn't mess with her.
