This is a lovely capture of the coin! You have framed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

Interesting coin and one that I have only seen a couple of times in circulation.
Do not know what to say about the image other than it is a image of a coin that lacks critical sharpness. For this type of image, a lower contrast image would work better to show off the coin.

A nice shot with fine details. I like the colors and the unobtrusive background. The cropping is good and the presentation is attractive. I have never seen this coin although I heard that it was in circulation.
