Doesn't do it for me. I think the design has somewhat fallen between too stools, and is not particularly inspiring. It doesn't look traditional or modern.

must it be traditional or modern? can it not be judged without categorisation? 

Personally speaking, I think it looks mass produced and lacking any character so it leaves me stone cold, …. its bullion and i’d only pay spot for it.

I absolutely agree. Complete rubbish and lacking aesthetics; I wouldn't even pay spot for it.

I meant it lack the intricacies of the traditional designs which we admire. It doesn't come across as cutting edge or innovative like a good modern design should be.  The reverse is a poor rip off of the William IV half crown. The obverse is a rip off of the 1977 silver jubilee crown.  I won't pay spot for it either. In fact I would much rather own a bullion bar than that coin.

I agree - I think the design isn't too bad all things considered but it does have a cartoony look to it.

Flat and boring, no artistic measure to the design, close to being just functional
