"Beautiful" is subjective and will vary with every person.

I agree with Coconutjoe for U.S. coins: (not my coin)  Non-U.S. is tougher. I'll have to think about it more. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I am a huge fan of US Admin of the Philippines coinage!
Beautiful is their simplicity.

I agree with SLQ and Philippines.
[Edit] Above is my opinion for the design. However I believe the most beautiful example of a single coin would have to be from the 19th century original skin as the 20th century coins just don't tone the same way.

That is a tough question. I personally find many different coins to be stunningly beautiful for numerous reasons. Of that list to pick my top one: a Peace dollar. Something about that coin strongly resonates with me every time I see one. |

I am going to agree with a good number of others and say that the Walking Liberty half is the most beautiful U.S. coin, not only because of top-notch execution of design but also the symbolism. I think the winner for commemoratives would no doubt be the Dolly Madison. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae
