The PCI Guy Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Actually i dunno what it is but that crown doesn't look half bad! I think the background suits it. I nearly voted for it... nearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Tough choice. I think the photograph portrays the crown better than the noble. In person, I'd probably vote the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Even though I wouldn't say no to a noble if one happened my way i'm not particularly convinced by its `heraldic' content . The humble CuNi 1953 crown is more in keeping with the category to my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Shield, crowns, fleurs, lions etc. what's not heraldic about that? The reverse is crammed full of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffibunny Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 The noble is too busy as far as design goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustchaser Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I very, VERY much prefer the design of the noble over the crown. The problem is that it is gold and thereby catagorically ugly. I am therefore forced to choose the crown. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I have to agree with that sentiment actually Jim. I used to be really taken with gold, but it's waned alot lately. Don't get me wrong i still like gold, but silver definately has the edge. I think it might have something to do with popular culture, silver is a tad classy, understatments generally are, whereas gold in excess has a quality about it that can make it look really cheap and tacky, plus it's association with chavs doesn't really help.
