I am very curious to know what ugly coins are out there from circulation.

Look at the US coins, and do the opposite.

That I think the design of the USA coins are ugly …

with a few exceptions, I agree. lots of uglies in the USA catalog. 

how bout the ladies Liberty and flayed eagles on the 19th century gold

imagine waking up next to that…

and really this eagle looks like road kill.

This must be the worst image of Kate Middleton, now The Princess of Wales, ever created.  What on earth were the Royal Mint doing ?  Even though she's now over 40, Kate is still gorgeous and this doesn't look anything like her.

  2. N#303333  Those faces are AWFUL
  3. N#4731  Very lame design

Graphic art never did it for me

 

 

All of Aruba's coins are this bland and include square ones as well. Designed around 1985 - meh!

 

This bangaldeshi coin ticks all the yuk boxes for me, ugly design, bad graphic art, cheap quality metal and design

 

 

I know its African, but whatever that thing it is, its ugly and scary. Even looking at it gives me a curse and the collywobbles.

 

Even if it wasn't Russian I would still hate this design

 

I don't like it because he was a racist pig that started the Apartheid nonsense and he was also quite ugly.

I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

Does anyone else think this looks a bit like the actor Richard E Grant?

It's a close thing, but I'm getting a nasty whiff of defeat - I think the Australian's may have won this one !
