[QUOTE="izotz, post: 241227, member: 5446"]Hello Aidan Work, I don't like Spanish obverses neither, but it's just a matter of design for me. I think they are not "pretty" (sorry, I can't think of a more appropriate word for this). But I dislike the idea of having every coin the same design. Imagine that all US coins had the Washington face. It may be a little boring for me. At least, they have a diferent obverse, one for each state. And every face value has its own design. I think it is necessary that we have King Juan Carlos I on one or two face values, but there are many other things that we can show to the world. Maybe, other people know Cervantes as I know Dante (€2 Italian coin) or Shakespeare. I like Italian coins, for example. I know some history about Leonardo and his drawings, as you can see on 1€ coin (chrisild's avatar). But we could show many other things to the world so that they can learn about other things. For example, I didn't know Sacagawea story until I saw that one dollar coin. But this is just my opinion. I hope I explained myself. Maybe other people want to tell theirs.[/QUOTE]
