The most beautiful woman on a coin?

I know this has probably been hashed out many times before but.............

Poland's Queen Jadwiga on a 10 Zlotych conjurers up images of a soft dainty damsel needing to be rescued and is my choice for #1 coin babe

As proud as I am of being an American.... Britannia gets my vote!

satootoko · March 27, 2009 9:55AM

Without a picture of Queen Jadwiga's coin, who knows?

JCMhouston · March 27, 2009 10:05AM

Jadwiga is not bad, but I still like that blond Britannia shown a couple of weeks ago, even if she was too skinny.

FilthyBroke · March 27, 2009 10:25AM

Well, we are never going to come to any sort of conclusion without pictures!

FilthyBroke · March 27, 2009 10:27AM

I hope posting here doesn't get me slapped, but how about this one?

I vote for Maryanne on the 20 franc gold coin. But you have to hold the coin and drink in its 3-d beauty. A picture does not hack it.

Makarovii · March 27, 2009 4:12PM

While I find Queen Jadwiga very attractive and one of my personal favorite images on a coin, I'd still like to meet this young lady...

sorry, but she qualifies as a 'butter face'.

I think you're not looking above the shoulders on that one

To quote Christopher Walkin: “ Wow-wa”
The thaller doesn't do her justice, no wonder she was so popular.
She must'a been sometin-else in her yout.

Poland's Jadwiga is a great design but to be a bona-fide coin babe you need more then a portrait.
So - my fantasy piece: Take the bust of ol Theresa there add the head of Frances Maryanne (from the 1-10 centime pieces) and I think you’d really have a winner.

Short of that…
The two shown: Philippine peso and French sower are definitely favorites of mine, but like the Britannia pieces that show a full figure the head is rendered too small to show any significant detail.

I had to give it a go....

I've never loved that design, though I know a lot of people do. For that style, I actually prefer this pattern.

That coin depicts a woman? It seems I learn something new every day.

ASUtodd · March 28, 2009 5:49AM

Not my coin...

May not be the most beautiful woman on a coin, but the coin itself is BEAUTIFUL..........

Seems Umberto had himself a looker of a queen. But do you know which one?
Was this Umberto's or Umberto II's wife? I'm guessing Unberto II.

bidask · March 28, 2009 8:22AM

She is alright I guess.

FilthyBroke · March 28, 2009 9:05AM

Hmm?

Kurt4 · March 28, 2009 4:27PM

Not to ruin the thread, but I had to share.

Yes, I own it. The sheer absurdity of it made me buy it.

A tough gal - notgeld from Frankenthal, Germany

I've always liked the India designs better than the homeland ones

Classic Italian

Another (the taller one is a dude, most folks miss that

)

Why not another Italian?!

Sold long ago, but still like the design - Liberia

And the Romanian sower

mudskippie · March 28, 2009 6:02PM

What is he doing?

Here is my share: I hope the blue stuff is actual toning and not PVC

theboz11 · March 28, 2009 6:04PM

Not a dog in the bunch

But anyone of them makes the others look like dogs

And my personal favorite

mudskippie · March 28, 2009 7:19PM

This one gets my vote:

Preussen · March 28, 2009 10:52PM

WWW · March 29, 2009 1:26AM

I was wondering when some wise guy would post the most fugly US coin ever minted.
Thanks, Preussen. It's funny every time.

Not the most beautiful, but it's one I really like:

It's Eunice Kennedy Shriver for those who care to know

JCMhouston · March 29, 2009 2:42AM

Some of the 19th C. Swiss were not bad looking either.

And in spite of it being modern the Sower is still one of my favorite designs.

pendragon1998 · March 29, 2009 3:25AM

Britannia...

I think she looks pretty good in the Falkland Islands issue, too:
(not mine)

farthing · March 29, 2009 4:24AM

I was always partial to this one - not sure if I still have it, the scan of the coin is from a number of years ago.

sonde79 · March 29, 2009 8:18AM

here is another classic.

IloiloKano · March 29, 2009 9:19AM

<< Britannia...

>>

Yeah, but that's cheating when you have her facing off against the Queen. Sort of like a beautiful woman magnifying her attractiveness by parading around with a coven of homely friends! Next you'll be posting her next to a picture of Rosie Odonnell.

Here. Let me do it for you.

edited because I was too mean, and we all know that wasn't a true picture of Rosie, so here are some more flattering pics...

1jester · March 29, 2009 10:04AM

What, Mac hasn't posted yet?!

Though Spoon's pic of the young Vic from India looks like it even might have come from the poor Mouse's stash.

By the way, where's the full hair version of Desnuda?! Boz, you're slippin'!

spoon · March 29, 2009 10:45AM

I was wondering when Dan would show up with his BBL collection

Yep, the India one has a Mac pedigree dating back to the great Inaugurata giveaway

Unfortunately it seems the humidity in this horrid land got past Mac's careful wrapping and it toned a bit, still quite superb though!

Here are a few more pics:

Looks better in hand
