Worst Victoria bust ever

I just picked up this unlisted 1837 Ascension to the Throne Medal , I have to say that the sculptor must have hated Victoria. These medals were probably confiscated and melted

Bronze 3.6gms 24 mm

Edit to correct the spelling as point out by LM. Thank You

Wow!! I think you're right!

Her majesty doesn't exactly look "gracious" there, does she?

Sad to say, that one might've been closer to reality than some of the coin portraits.

But I dunno- if some contemporary images are to be believed, she was quite pretty in her youth.

That one's a trip!

<< <i>Ascension to the Thrown Medal >>

Did you subconsciously type a Freudian slip in there? Are you saying this should be thrown?

If you're gonna throw it, throw it this way. She might look like one of Cinderella's stepsisters there, but I like it.

Maybe I'll throw it later, but I corrected the spelling

She does look like Cinderella's step sister.

From what I understand she would have liked to have been that thin!

Looks more like Margaret Hamilton...

Perhaps she was just constipated.
