Hitler did not want his portrait on a coin. He knew history and didn't want to end up like French King Louis XVI who was captured and beheaded after someone recognized him from his portrait on his coins.

One of the world war two specials on history channel repeated the report that he ordered his face to not be on coins until after the war was "won". He wasn't shy. He was on tons of cigarette cards; posters and stamps. He showed on lots of news reels and newspaper photos too. After his own people tried to blow him up I don't think that he was worried about a trial or execution.
