ikaros Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Ugly Coin Competition 2014 Ugly By Design I'm Not Bad, I'm Just Engraved That Way 1970 and Before Art's 1819 UK George III 6d One of the top contenders for unattractive portraits as far as I'm concerned. No disrespect meant but this is not an attractive man and the profile portrait is not in any way flattering. A bit of "photoshopping" would have helped. A bit of wear shows circulation and a mild series of edge dings confirms actual use vs. pocket piece or such. Another ugly coin but one which I treasure. vs ScottO's 1944 France 2 Franc liberation issue Compared to all other French coins, there is little in terms of design, the obverse is just FRANCE and a wreath.

Art1.2 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 The George portraits are horrible on any of the coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
