<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1626940, member: 39&quot;]At least the abstract designs do not need to be adapted every couple of years (cf. Elizabeth II) - Beatrix has had the very same portrait on circulation coins for 30 years. The only change was that in 1999 a second portrait was added for the &quot;copper&quot; and &quot;brass&quot; pieces of the euro coins. If you take a 1 gulden coin from 1982 and a 1 euro coin from 2012 ... exactly the same look.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of her portraits on collector coins are a little odd, yes. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But those silver and gold coins do not actually circulate anyway. So why not experiment a little? Don&#039;t get me wrong; I do appreciate good ancient, medieval or late 19c/early 20c art, architecture or coin design. A newly designed 2013 coin, however, that looks like one from 50 or 100 years ago, that is something that I would find very strange.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
