This is nearly impossible to answer without any clarification.

As far as I know, the first country to use a "cent" (as in, just plain cent and not the translation of cent in say, French) is the US which featured a personification of Liberty on all cents up until 1909 when it was replaced by Lincoln. But, naturally that is not a real person.

Most likely the first instance of a real person on a "cent" (again, just a plain cent and not the transliteration of a cent) would be Queen Victoria since she reigned in Canada which had a cent.
