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.

I see that I'm going to need to make use of the industrial strength/grade bleach on my eyes after browsing the forums today.

The inferior man argues about his rights, while the superior man imposes duties upon himself.

He who has a why can bear almost any how.

Every act of beauty is a revolt against the modern world.

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...

The Harry and Megan coin is a contender, although that's a suberb photo! 😎

Apologies, I should have credited Chards with it. 

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.

I went out on date once with a girl. Met her and she seemed lovely until she opened her gob. With her teeth she could of eaten an apple through a tennis racket.

All that glitters ain't gold!

Yes indeed, truly repulsive both aesthetically and morally. Beats even the secret Stasi agent's mug (Merkel).

My remark was intended to refer to the unfortunate Harry and his scheming wife, but it seems to have got caught up with other material.

Hugely enjoyable thread.

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.. :D

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.

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?"
