The Queens Crown

Harry was the bad boy in Nazi gear at a party.

Charles will be King unless he dies before the Queen, or becomes a Catholic.

What I find interesting about the Queen's images on coins is the variety even within a particular design. For instance, the modified designs of Arnold Machin's original or the head verses head and shoulder designs by Raphael Maklouf or Ian Rank-Broadley and the unique designs from Canada and Australia (2000 50c).

There are already some interesting designs for Charles on coins dating from 1980 (Fiji) to his 60th birthday image on UK 5 pound in 2008.

Australia even has coins with the images of the Princesses Margaret, Anne and Diana. Camilla is already on coins of at least two countries. Then we have issues with the Princes Phillip, Andrew, Edward, William and Henry (Harry) as well as the Duchess of York (Sarah) and Countess of Wessex (Sophie). All make for great collecting.
