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.

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

    This head of hair is a lie.

    Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?

    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!

    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.

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