Two coins released by the Royal Australian Mint to honor Queen Elizabeth II's birth centenary have sparked online criticism. The $5 and 50 cent silver coins show the Queen's portrait, but many say it doesn't look like her. One comment said, "That's got to be the most unpleasant portrait on a coin." Others joked it looked like "she just ran into a wall" or compared it to TV characters like Mrs Doubtfire. The mint defended the art, stating, "Our coin images don't always capture the full beauty of a design once it's etched in metal." Fans still appreciated the tribute, saying, "Awesome. I'm glad they put something out to do with Queen Elizabeth II, she deserves to have Recognition In a Special Way." The coins sold out quickly, with 30,000 of the 50 cent and 5,000 of the $5 coins minted. These are collectors' items and not for general use. Besides the portrait, the coins feature symbols of the Queen's life and legacy, including motifs of a horse, corgi, roses, lilies, and Australia's golden wattle. They also include her royal cypher, a stylized crown, and a wartime service emblem. The back side shows King Charles' profile, the Queen's son.
