<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1043611, member: 39&quot;]The £5 piece I find attractive. This portrait of Prince Philip looks more interesting to me than that of Prince Charles two years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>The King James Bible coin looks good too. Had the £5 denomination been picked for that occasion (with more space for the design), then I would have preferred the 1611 front page, or some part of it. On the smaller £2 coin the letters/sorts are better, I think. What I do not like is the different font sizes (or even fonts?) used on the obverse and reverse, and that one side has two dot/pearl circles while the other side has none ...</p><p><br /></p><p>The Mary Rose coin and the £1 coins - oh well, not great but not dull either. The 50p coin is interesting indeed; reminded me of hieroglyphs. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I first wondered about elements such as the car, but since the WWF is not just about preservation but about a sustainable coexistence (here in Europe it is called &quot;World Wide Fund for Nature&quot;), even that makes sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, while I do not collect the London Olympics coins, one design I find interesting and amusing: The Football 50p coin does not show a ball or a player but a drawing which explains what &quot;offside&quot; is, hehe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
