Yes, it is text only, but the style conveys the way Frankenstein brought his &quot;creation&quot; to life. And the fact that we do not see any images may have something to do with the fact that this coin commemorates the anniversary of the book, not any Frankenstein movie.</p><p><br /></p><p>The RAF coin is not attractive in my opinion - by and large I do not like designs that merely reproduce a logo. It&#039;s OK but not more ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Not fond of the armistice design either. The concept - that war is hardly ever about heroism but about suffering - makes a lot of sense to me.

And I also appreciate that the designer did not pick the &quot;obvious&quot; poppy either. But a second text-only design, hmm. Maybe empty trenches would have been a good symbol, maybe something that includes the civil victims? Also, I cannot really see whether the background pattern has any specific meaning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Representation of the People Act? Well, that was a step toward equal voting rights, but not the real thing yet. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; The design is not bad though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
