Two commemorative coins released by the Royal Australian Mint, honoring Queen Elizabeth II, have come under fire due to their poor resemblance to the late monarch. The $5 and 50 cent silver coins were made to mark the 100th anniversary of the Queen's birth and had an online ballot that recently closed. Online feedback has been sharp, with some remarking that it might be the 'most unpleasant portrait' they've ever seen on a coin. The Mint defended the artwork, insisting that the final coin designs did not always capture the beauty intended in the original concept. Critics have humorously compared the coin's portrait to TV characters such as Mrs. Doubtfire. Despite the backlash, the coins have been a hit among collectors, with all of the initial batch selling out quickly. The mint crafted 30,000 of the 50-cent coins and 5,000 of the $5 coins, ensuring they remain collector's items and won't circulate in the general public. The coins also feature various designs symbolizing the Queen's life, including motifs of her favorite animals and flowers. Notably, the horns of the coins display King Charles' profile in tribute to the lineage.
