The King Charles maples leaves are ugly. Could they have not come up with a better portrait? I know he is no looker but one would imagine they could do better.

    Have to agree about the attractiveness of the new maple leaves. Much prefer the Queen Elizabeth ones. But... I imagine we will get used to the new ones in time.

    could be worth a lot if his tenure is short

    at least on the coin they didn't have to fabricate his hairline so obviously.

    This head of hair is a lie.

    I think the portrait on the maple is charming for its honesty. I think I’ll buy one!

    I find the gold one isn’t as bad as the silver. However, I’ll have to buy the silver one to continue my maple album.

    They do look better in hand compared to the computer generated image everyone uses.

    I don't think it was the designer's fault.

    I got one recently, it’s kind of interesting… Not my favorite, but cool enough to have one…

    The coronation sovereign from last year however, I like that portrait quite a lot!

    Camilla may have wanted accented hair.

    I do like the sovereign. They should have gone with that portrait.

    I think the portrait is the same, they just removed the crown again.

    I do not think that it looks too bad.

    they had to make his nose bigger to reach the 1 full ounce

    I actually find it quite flattering when compared to what he looks like in real life.

    It's a mediocre portrait. I don't care for the last few QEII portraits particularly either.
