SionGilbey Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 Have you seen their commemorative £5 yet? I think they might have photographed the wrong Will and Kate... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:When was the last decent design on a crown-sized coin? I'm struggling to think of any post-1977.The only one I actually like is the 2008, Elizabeth I commemorative crown. The proof is particularly nice in my humble opinion. Agree pretty much about all the rest.That's the one with Elizabeth the first with 4 arches?Yes, that's right. The uncirculated coin is quite nice, but the frosted proof is a lovely design. Compared to all the other tatt that has been produced over the years, it stands out. Some of the modern stuff is dire. For instance the 2003 Coronation Jubilee coin, which I think is awful.Compare some of William Wyon's designs to William and Kate's monstrosity... even though technology has advanced so much, there's a world of difference between the two.

Though I guess Matthew Boulton's cartwheels are the exception that proves the rule! Quote
