Apologies if this is the wrong place for this (seemed like it could go in a couple of forums). What do you all think of the Paris Mint's USA 250th coin series? I don't know much about the Paris Mint's efforts to commemorate American events. Just curious what people think of these pieces.

personally I like the 2014 + 2015 versions of the libertas americana monnaie de paris put out, not so much this one; the obverse on this one is kinda whack imo; ugly & unbalanced design

Appreciate the feedback! I noticed the demand seems pretty low as they’re still available, so it seems others agree haha.

Minerva, representing France, and a rendition of the Statue of Liberty, also from France.

Pass, mostly because it's not attractive.

That is an unattractive obverse.

Agree. The Paris Mint makes some nice things, but the 2026 Liberty coin looks odd. I liked the 2023 Libertas shown below.
