okay i looked at the picture too.

the only thing i noticed straight away is that there is a lot of shoulders and torso which is quite unusual on a coin.

interesting. i didn't know that and i enjoy coins. i do know that our Monarchs normally alternate.

on a similar subject; HRH The Prince of Wales believes that the Regnal name Charles is cursed.
when/if he accedes to the Throne, what will he be called?

Charles I was executed, Charles II was a slag and lost the Crown to cromwell's idiots, would-have-been Charles III (bonnie) was a bit of a failure so HRH doesn't fancy the Regnal name.
