British Royal Mint website updated yesterday

Hi

After the less than cordial reception that the Entente Cordiale coin design received on this forum I'm not sure if anyone will be too bothered but the Royal Mint has updated their website. At least they are not saying that the proof is sold out now!

I didn't think it was possible, but the Royal Mint has succeeded in making both Marianne and Britannia ugly on the same coin. The coin is so ugly it could be a modern art masterpiece; it shows no historical imagery and is an abomination to the beauty of Marianne and Britannia depicted on other earlier coins and medals. This coin show the utter contempt that the Royal Mint has for collectors -- believing that we will buy every piece of junk they issue, like automatons.

Not the best but looks okay to me.

I would still like to see one close up, I do like the concept.
