Is This The Most Attractive Half Gram Gold Coin Ever?

I am usually very dismissive of tiny gold bullion coins, for a few reasons:

It is difficult to get sufficient definiton on such small coins.

The manufacturing costs are disproportionately high compared with sensible sized coins such as one ounce or quarter ounce, hence:

The premium when new is uncompetitively high.

I need an eyeglass to see them properly.

But...

"Au .9999 half gram NOBLE"

Without looking it up, I don't know if this was minted by Pobjoy Mint, or whoever took over the contract for Manx coins.

Although the definition on the obverse could be better, I am astounded at the detail on the reverse.

My main criticism would be wondering why "half gram" is in lower case, my preference would have been for "Half Gram"

My contribution to the thread, although it's certainly 3rd place. Out of three.

Apologies for the following obverse:

Reed count anyone?

Technically, alcohol is a solution..

'It [socialism] poses a growing threat, however unintentional, to the freedom of this country, for there is no freedom where the State totally controls the economy. Personal freedom and economic freedom are indivisible. You can’t have one without the other. You can’t lose one without losing the other.'

Let not England forget her precedence of teaching nations how to live, and It's  Britannia, with one t and two n's.

I think I can explain your fascination with dinosaurs:

(a) You are 4 years old.

(b) You are the parent of a 4 year old.

(c) You are a palaeontologist who obsession began when you were 4.

That Titanic-shaped coin is quite cool.  I like how on the obverse (in my imagination, at least) it looks a bit like the Queen is sticking her finger up to the observer.

That Noble coin is quite nice, Lawrence - I agree.

The Dinosaur coin reverse detail looks impressive too.

I have a single 1/10 oz gold coin which I find way too small to enjoy looking at very often, so these ones would be a real challenge for me!  I do have a predecimal quarter farthing, three-halfpence and maundy penny though...
