<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2312784, member: 39&quot;]Don&#039;t really find Camilla terribly attractive either, but at least she does not use the infantile (head down, eyes up) body language that Diana was famous for. The royal portrait however would feature Charles, not his wife. The effigy used in 2008 (on the coins issued for his 60th birthday) looks pretty good in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, may well be that Britannia looks at the lion&#039;s head, but I like designs where she, or Una, has a different &quot;viewing angle&quot;. The overall design of that coin I like.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for a Wilbert Awdry coin, I suppose that such an idea was &quot;born&quot; out of the desire to honor a certain tank engine, not the man behind it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So it was probably a good idea to not design and issue the coin. Besides, he died in 1997, and maybe issuing a coin in 2011 was considered early by some.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
