<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 723333, member: 19065"]Hmmm... "ugly"? As subjective of a comment as that is, it's not so cool to say about someone you never saw, knew, or whom may have epitomized ideals of beauty of the era in which they lived. Albeit the FS coin designs may not suit you and perhaps their renderings are aesthetically unappealing to your sense of beauty in gold coin design as well as the female likeness, but let's not call these ladies 'ugly', esp. from an era in which no photographic documentation exists. All renderings of them which these coins were based on could only be renderings based on historical engravings, painted portraits and the like. Not sure if any death masks exists for them or not, but I think the design can only be so true in likeness and capturing the spirit of these figures as to the point of what they are based on. They are not my favorite coins and I am not buying them but they are not ugly in my opinion. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
