Art1.2 0 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I don't like either. They're not hammered, so I guess I understand that. No really - what is it that you don't like? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I despise coins with the tacky enamelling and I find both designs rather cluttered. The cityscape in the centre of the first one is rather pleasing, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikaros 0 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I like the Paralympics design better. The regular Olympics design seems rather pedestrian to me; the Paralympics design is one of the most effective uses of the simple fact that (most) coins are round that I've ever seen.

I have to agree with you on the Paralympics design. In fact I like that so much that I will be purchasing one for my UK collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
