Ugly By Design


I'm Not Bad, I'm Just Engraved That Way


1971 and After



Art's 2005 Luxembourg 2 Euro Commemorative


Placing two portraits on the surface of a coin is at best difficult. To make the two portraits reside in the same small space and present them attractively is almost impossible. In this case the portrait of Adolphe has a strange appearance. The nose is sharply pointed and the large blob directly below it - his mustache in reality, is really unattractive. They could have done better.

vs



ScottO's 1983 Tunisia 5 Millime


Tunisian coins are usually full of design, however this one is struck on aluminium, lightly struck and there not much but the generic reverse design, and a tree on the obverse.

Another chance for me to express my dislike of this particular 2Euro design and to help one of my entries stay alive.
