Celebrate the life of a loved and well-remembered monarch???

What do you think of the new design of the now available Queen Victoria. I am Not a fan and will pass on it. With a limited mintage of 75 for the £5 gold proof and with a price of £5,395 - it is an easy pass for me.

Ghastly, but the portrait is marginally better than the recent Princess Anne.

Or the Queen Mum down at the dogs cheering on hers while necking a bottle of Worthington....

Not particularly flattering, is it? Having said that, my all time low is probably the 2002 Queen Mother £5 portrait. The first time I saw one of those, I had to do a quick check that it was a Royal Mint product and not some private enterprise output.

Give Anne her dues. She is probably the hardest working royal of the 4, and I suspect has a greater sense of duty than the others.

oh no it wasn't dont you remember that Dianna coin - i have one here i bought in a bulk lot and it makes me ill looking at it

I rather like the Princess Anne portrait myself. It's quite a good likeness and she is 75 years young after all. Here is a photo of her taken this year.

love anne as a person at least she seems a credit to the family

I remember Terry Wogan interviewing her in a right obsequious manner and she wasn't having any of it.   She was terrific!
