<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 2751317, member: 22602&quot;]I love the asymmetry of this coin&#039;s obverse, so much so that the reverse seems rather boring and predictable by comparison, although maybe the larger denomination on the reverse was determined necessary for legibility.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the large field lends both humor and humility to the owl and I can&#039;t imagine this was unintentional in its design. I also like how the &quot;A&quot; of ASIO (whatever that phrase means) appears directly above the owl&#039;s head and not quite at 12:00 but more like 12:30. Another little oddity!</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be interested in seeing how other denominations are treated: do they depict other animals at larger sizes?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
