Chris Perkins Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 nothinglooks interesting, but the edge looks rather blandhow the hell are they going to manage all that tiny detail when they cant make any currency properly?The sides will probably be smooth and blank and the design details will be colour printed onto it in China, Elvis-coin style!

Peter Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I like the design but need the date in the exurge under Britannia.Queenie must be getting on a bit.Maybe we need a veiled Queen.Can't see the Duke lasting long. Quote
DaveG38 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I gather that the reverse is going to be decided by open competition, so come on you lot and get cracking. I, for one, am willing to suggest Samantha Fox on the reverse - if there's room. Quote

Nordle11 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Interesting reverse... Not a fan, not a fan at all.. Quote
Peter Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 As bad as some of the Olympic 50p'sWhat is wrong with a good Britannia? Quote
Nordle11 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 As bad as some of the Olympic 50p'sWhat is wrong with a good Britannia?Agreed, and there's nothing wrong with good ol' Britannia Peter! Quote
Peckris Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 If Sam Fox is to appear on the reverse, and the thing has 12 sides, it gives a whole new meaning to 'threepenny bits'. Quote
Gary1000 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 If Sam Fox is to appear on the reverse, and the thing has 12 sides, it gives a whole new meaning to 'threepenny bits'. I wonder if they would be able to prevent ghosting with all that metal being sucked out of the obverse. I guess it would also be the first coin in modern times with two busts. 1 Quote
