With the release of the New Britannia, yes its 30 years since the Britannia coin was first released on the Market, and there 30 th Anniversary special was this monster of a coin.
Can you find a more awful coin than below, that is my challenge, come up with some beauties and we will pull the 10 worst coins together and then all in the community will vote on the worst coins the member who submits the worst coin will win a Gold Quarter oz coin, the prize will be announced once we have 10 of the most ugly, disgusting sickening, degrading coins, but you are up against below.
Can we get worse than this
Is there anything as grotesque as this pile of crap
Here's my pick
Bah ha ha! Upvote for the trillion dollar platinum farce that nearly went full on Rom-Com!
not a fan of the stars. Id take one of these if someone gifted it to me though. :-)
Not cool
Glad I got the other 1oz ones that got cancelled they look very nice
liberty the US mint lying again
Eww. But look at this beauty!
I changed my mind.. I think this is uglier!
That dude has a big hammer though! Lol
Jesus! Is that a mushroom tip hanging down??? Good lord I'm friggin dying here!! Hahahahaha
I see... I see a... pregnant alien with 2 mouths playing golf with his Wang?
he is a bit limp did he design new Britannia
Oh man I'm dying over here!
lol, i cant type for laughing
Shockingly, it was the Cook Islands who made this. They should know better! It goes to show.. a mint with good reputation can still fall from grace.
And here's the kicker, they made that thing part of a PROOF SET!
1974 I believe.
Oh man I'm still hurting from laughing!
This isn't my official entry, but I am posting to prove that even a child can design a better coin than the new Britannia:
Canadian quarter, 1999.
Yes this gets my vote haha
You poor thing, was it actually in your pocket many times, eh? 31 million of them made..
Yes I've seen it, I won't even spend them I throw them out to get them outta circulation 😝
If it makes you feel better, we had something similar over here:
But it's actually one of the rarest circulated coins right now.. not because of low mintage, because of low purchase! The 100'000 mintage apparently only sold about 17'000, LOL.
Wonder why? Haha
This one is shit. Just. Simply. Shit.
think the mints think we are all retards ops must not say not say that, special needs
Awww... look at the cute kids' drawing! So much. Etter than the Brittania!
This coin is utterly disturbing. I think for such a classic coin the design should be so much more distinguished! Thanks for the post buddy!! I mentioned you in my recent post hope you take a look! Here is my entry
The scarce Bryan Dollars, by Tiffany&co for the presidential elections of 1896.
That year populist Democrat, William Jennings Bryan, squared off against Republican, William McKinley. Bryan ran what amounted to a one issue campaign.
His proposal was that silver should be converted in unlimited quantities into coinage, mostly silver dollars, under the assumption that 16 parts of silver were equal in value to 1 part of gold.
According to Bryan the benefits would be that farmers and laborers would end up with higher crop prices and wages. All of this was in the wake of a fairly short but quite nasty economic recession that was called the Panic of 1893.
The Bryan Dollars, which classified into two broad classes. The most often seen are the satirical pieces which were of base metal. These pieces often featured grotesque reproduction of the Morgan dollar design. The joke was a Morgan dollar really needed to be huge to be equal in value to a gold dollar.
Thanks quicksilver very interesting you learn something new every day
Yes I found it very interesting. Especially that back then they were campaigning for a 16 to 1 silver to gold ratio.
glad they did not get it others we could not own what we own
havnt seen that one before good post
Check this beauty out.
this coin is called the lying coin
this one is pretty awful! blair and bush look stoned out there faces and the queens face is totally wrong shes got an overbight.
This is ugly!!
I think that anyone who has the audacity to colorize these beautiful coins need to be taken out and thrashed.
I agree within an inch of there life
Agreed! I mean what is the freaking point?
this one is also pretty crap ))
Elivis lives
this ones nice to nice to be bad
The clown prince of crime.
yeah i like this one, well designed if you ask me :)
I have bought the six coin proof set, as a flip I think it may still do well. Its a radical design thats sure to divide opinion but collectors still will not want a gap
I won't tell anyone
Haha! I really don't know why they went with that design, the 2014 is so popular because Britannia looks beautiful on it, quite a contrast to this one!
Shame on you LOL
yeah thats a strange design for sure! cool contest im gona have a think :)
can't believe nobody at the mint said anything?! ;p
My entry is another Britannia, I dont know whose idea is was to have the flag mess up the whole design but it did not end up well.
Yeah this one sucks too. Seems like they're getting worse over time with the Britannias
This one reminds me of the minting error of the Olympics Swimmer 50p coin, with the water lines all over the swimmer's face. Those sell for about £1000 now, however.
I don't reckon you'll beat Britannia for this one. You can find ugly people on coins but this has to be the ugliest design by far.
True. There are some impressively ugly noses in coin portraits.
Look at this guy:
I think he looks like...
what an ugly B-----d
The Britannia design reminds me of that abortion of a logo for the 2012 Olympics, maybe the designers were on the same drugs! !
Well I suppose that's what inbreeding does to the face!😂
heres Silver Futures Vid
Yep, this is definitely a winner lol!
heres my entry
also i think this ones a shocker!
looks like an old gran eerrrrr
shes just scary looking, makes me feel distubed i definately wouldn't want her in my pocket!
Never forget
Bah ha ha -- o my sides! Who authorizes this dung?
This is supposed to be the "Beautiful" Cleopatra.
Wish i had some ugly coins to show :-(
as for the UK coins i think this is badly designed
I have to agree! It looks like the Olympics commission designed it!
Hideous except for its content...
This one is pretty bad it Makes me laugh.
That is a dam horrible coin is that the four stooges
Its actually supposed to be the Beatles. They look like they have been hit in the face with a bat.
O my sides!!! I thought i knew which one was John...but can't be sure...o ha ha ha that is funny!
[edit] ringo? Nonwhere to be seen ah ha ha
Is this a child fan art on a coin? ...or a serious designer on LSD?
or crack
The coin designer is a piece of crap but the bunch of people who approved this design are bigger ones...
Sov.
You should see The Year of the Dog coin . Beats this Britannia. SOV.
