Jovita Idar's especially, even if I need a magnifying glass to make out the smaller text

I am just giving an opinion and not being argumentative, but I thought them choosing this design did exactly opposite of honoring the person on the REV. I have heard several people online, and also my own family members, who saw one and right away said, Wow, that looks really weird. The other comments I have heard is how stupid it looks instead of just having a "normal" design.

We can all have opinions in the case of "artistic" expression.

But then I got to thinking, if this woman would have known someday she was to be honored by being put onto a US coin, I think she would have been happy. But if she had also been told the first impression people would have is how strange/off/dumb (terms I have seen/heard) the design looks instead of noticing her for what she was allegedly being honored for, then how would she feel?

The other coins, you first notice the design elements and the woman's name. This one people wonder what in the world is going on until they look close enough to see the wording is her clothing.
Then the obvious statement comes...why? When the design should be making people curious as to who she was and what she did.

The comes the task of trying to figure out the words describing what the design is about inside the jumbled design of a dress they are in. I think she would ask why they just did not treat her like everyone else to emphasize who she was without needing to take the time to find a magnifying glass to figure it all out. Just my opinion.
