    At least this guy was considerate enough to make it entertaining:

    I bet the reverse is a real laugh, too. That coin looks more like a drawing of a coin than an actual coin.

    I seem to be noticing far more examples of someone 'smoothing' the fields and then get a bit carried away to 'tooling'. Perhaps that's because I just had my eye prescription 'renewed' LOL

    The lettering on the left is pretty over-the-top bad. "It must. have. every. letter!"

    Perhaps tooling is taught in the public schools over there somewhere and we should not make fun of the kindergartners?

    If I'd only been a bully as a child I'd already know how to handle this situation!

    Just needs some bondo to fill the holes and then some green paint.

    I'm not very good with faces, but that looks an awful lot like a TRVMPIVS!
