Added a new coin to my website, gotta say the Habsburgs are an interesting bunch I just uploaded it so there might be some errors still.

He looks fairly normal. His family must have grudgingly called him "pretty boy." Funny you have this posted on your webpage as modern.
oh...btw...on the site I list things in only two general sections, modern and ancient and on the whole, modern starts around the middle ages.
I see what you mean, he doesn't quite have that Neanderthal jaw. Nice coin, I like the unusual perspective on the reverse shields.
