I don't think mine will win, but this token has a fairly crude depiction of the (Future) King George V as a chinless wonder.   1901 Copper Royal Visit Token - New Zealand. The portrait is naive and done locally, the Queen does not look like Queen Mary and both appear very old for a couple in their mid 30s. Hardly a stick figure or a figurative depiction of some thought, but in my opinion unintentionally funny. I am wondering what the King thought of it, as this token was given free to all the school children in New Zealand (Although in 1901 we had a population of 775,000 and only 300,000 of them were handed out). Originally I was going to show a 4th century Roman copper with some ancient God as a silhouette - but I have more respect for that era and those Gods than that. Edited by Princetane

Spence I am voting for your coin - he looks like he is trapped and can't get out!
I was going to do a Roman copper depiction of either Diana or Hermes, but decided laughing at an ancient God was not the way to go.

...Darn. Defeated yet again by my collection being such a sheer mess that I hardly ever manage to find what I want in it. (For the record, I wanted to post my example of this type. Hard to get more abstract than that.) |

Okay, I guess it's Arkie then. I don't think your vote counts, j1m, because Finn already handed over the reins. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Ok hmm I'll need to research silver alloys for the few crown-sized coins I've got. Fortunately I'm more of a small change collector.
