This silver coin/medal was given to me by my dad when I was very young. He had no interest in coins so no idea where he got it. Part of this story will make some of you numismatic folk pull your hair out. I clearly recall proudly showing it to one of my uncles who proceeded to rub his thumbnail back and forth across the face of the coin to, "work out if it's really silver". I snatched it back but he'd already done the damage you can still see clearly some 30 years later (scratches)!
I've kept it in a box ever since but still know absolutely nothing about it. I've tried searching but to no avail. If anyone knows anything about its history it'd be much appreciated!

Wow, fair play! Thank you..
Just noticed that its composition is listed as copper which is leaving me a bit confused.. 
.. I looked for a silver variant on there but couldn't find one. Pretty sure mine silver so I've just weighed it to check the difference.
Pretty rare! 👍

As a coin dealer you just support the inclusion of ugly coin collectors to the community, otherwise they would be in a special class. Selling a William and Kate coin without laughing must be the Champions League of coin selling. 
"Yes Sir, that's a stunning coin, awesome. Are you a dentist?"

If someone deals in ugly coins, does that make them an...

Big Foot was the Silver Forum ugliest winner in 2016 😂 
and here is couple more to add to the entry list who buys this stuff 🤣

Tha Harry and Megan coin is far better than the truly awful William and Kate crown showing their teeth:

As Raphael Maklouf said, every sculptor knows to avoid showing people's teeth on a sculpture. It is a really basic mistake, and he could hardly believe that the Royal Mint accepted the design.

Spot the difference.
 
 

I love how they've captured the straining expression on the dog's face lol.

Bit of a lighthearted topic but given that I'm relatively new to this whole coin collecting/buying thing, I'd love to see some ugly coins! It's a shame I can't really start it off with one of my own but I will say that I don't think I could bring myself to buy one with the face of George III.. 
On a slightly related note, my first purchases were a couple of 2015 sovereigns and after since buying some oldies, I have to say that the new sovereigns look ugly in comparison! Much prefer the yellow gold look. All subjective of course but it'd be great to see some contenders.
 

My local dealer has a sign in the window saying " WE BUY ANY SCRAP GOLD FOR MELTING ( Except Harry & Megan stuff ) " 🤣

I was going to ask BYB do a coin with my face on it, then I reliased it would be the ugliest coin I owned. I have a face like john prescotts arris and a good face for radio.

1784 USA 1 Cent Washington Piece with a value of $90K 🤣 

I have got a George III and two Maria Theresa coins and I love them because there is no such thing as an ugly gold or silver coin - for as long as they don't mint one with the likeness of Frau Merkel.

That’s not Washington.
Its Mr Burns....
 

Somone on the forum once described the Maria Theresa Thaler as David Cameron in drag. I've not been able to get that image out of my mind ever since. 

If i was given a Harry and me-ghan coin i'd melt it into a butt plug for my dog to stop it farting when i'm watching SVU

It's funny how tastes differ- I really do like the 1816/ 1817 Bull Head Portrait
Agreed- If I was a wealthy man, as well as hoovering up lovely historic coins, I'd buy up as many of the mintage of all those ugly releases like that Harry & Meghan and melt them into cast bars 👍 

George III heads horror show continued:
(I like them!)

I'm totally with you and @prichaon the 2012 (it's one of the few that I do actually have) and as for that Harry and Meghan monstrosity - I reckon I'd have to get that melted down.. lol.
Your George III sovereign looks absolutely awesome apart from his unfortunate profile. What's going on with his bulgy eyes? I find it upsetting.. 

Agreed on the 2012 Bullion Sovereign- the design simply didn't work on the Bu
 
 
I guess you are not interested in my pride and joy then? 😂... We're all different and that's why collecting is so interesting 👍
 

 
Although there are many nasty looking coins- This is by far my worse nightmare- imagine dropping £2k for this horror story...
 

I don't think any of my gold coins are ugly, because they are made from gold!  Even the modern sovereigns...
In terms of the design, the ugliest UK coin (in my opinion) that I have kept is probably the 1965 Churchill Crown.  I don't think many people like this coin.  It doesn't actually feature in what I consider to be my proper collection.
Some of the recent 50p coins issued for circulation probably run it close - for example some of the Paddington Bear or Beatrix Potter designs.   Just my opinion though - others love them!
