It's about time to start another "show your coins" thread. For this one I thought we'd do portraits of British monarchs. Start with Queen Lizzie the sequel, show coins with various portraits of her, then move on to George VI, Edward VIII, George V, Edward VII, Victoria and so on, we'll go back as far as we can.
Here's the 5th portrait to get us started

There's also the portrait used on some colonial coins
I think that's all...so on to George. Not quite as many portraits of him to work through.

It's up to you, I started the thread but it's yours to add to. I would say once we get all the main different portraits we can start posting the next monarch, but if you want to add the different variations I'm not going to refuse to look at your coins

Alright, I've only got two George VI portraits. The standard one without a crown
And the one with a crown that was used in a lot of the colonies

For me it's not the same lettering but the same crowned portrait.

Απόσπασμα: "chomp-master"For me it's not the same lettering but the same crowned portrait.It's not the same crowned portrait... see if you can find the difference

Απόσπασμα: "chomp-master"Hmmm... Looks like a "low quality" portrait from the same base...I'm looking hard but I cannot see a 'portrait' on the reverse
Seems we would need to add all countries as separate portraits.
EDIT: Oh, wait... Wasn't the title wrong??? For me it's not the reverse but the obverse!
. There is a difference in the crown... look again...

Low quality portrait, low quality crown... Isn't that a whole issue?

I know, I know ... It should have been a post about George VI or V, but since nobody was posting anything, why not just open it to any British monarch?
So, here is a rather unusual portrait of Victoria (born 1819; ruled 1837─1901). I say "unusual" because, so far as I know, in all the British Imperial colonies and dominions, it's attested only on the Newfoundland 50 cents coins (struck 1870─1900).
At that time, Newfoundland was still a colony. I believe it became a dominion in 1907, and it joined the Canadian confederation in 1949.

Sadly, this is all George VI I have and an Australian florin.
