Vatican City 50-LIRE (KM264)
Dragon
The scene on this coin depicts a dragon (with human arms and hands) sitting atop a prone woman. It is meant to represent abortion, however, I see the metaphor in the opposite way as intended: The dragon holding the woman down is forcing her to its will and denying her control of her own body.
