Coin Challenge - Calf

This coin challenge shows a small calf fighting being held by a rope attached to its halter. 

What is the coin? Is it silver, gold or another metal? Did the coin circulate or is it a commemorative coin? What is the denomination - a penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar, dollar or another coin from early coinage? Is the design from the obverse or reverse of the coin? (Scroll down for hints.)

Coin Challenge Calf

 

Hints:

  1. It’s a male calf fighting the rope attached to its halter
  2. From the color, the coin is a shiny silver coin
  3. The father of the gentleman holding the calf was a mathematician

This month only those hints were provided. But, because it's interesting, here's another hint:

  1. His father, the mathematician, is credited with introducing the division (÷) sign.

What coin contains the image? Who is holding the calf?
