Post by: Triggersmob on April 05, 2008, 12:31:29 AM

I think this is one ugly design. What do you think?

Do you have any other ugly coins?

I don't care for some of the modern designs from Netherlands or Luxembourg either, it was as though they had an anti-monarchist designing them.  Then there was the infamous "God Save the Queen" commem from Britain.

Some of them have to be ugly. Otherwise the pretty ones wouldn't look as pretty.  ^^

I like very few of modern art pieces in general, but I like the designs of this coin and some others like Belgian 5 and 50 F.

I must have spend that coin a thousand times
But after my 1970 stamp collection I can only use to mail post I was not collecting any coins  :(
In fact since I did not have internet or any catalogues I was stupid enough to keep two 500 frank pieces
I thought were silver . Now I read most are nickel so I guess I will have to try a magnet cause I guess the common nickel ones will be
magnetic but not the silver ones

I rarely saved any Belgian coins from circulation, I only kept a few from Luxembourg, I liked them slightly better.
