to go on next year's gold sovereign who would it be and why?

 

Can be living or dead, but one rule that it can't be your own boat race!

 

(I'm still undecided)

[Danny-boy]

I think I'd choose Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

[silversword]

What's so special about the 2015 sovereign anyway? 

 

Just for fun, I would choose Joseph Merrick

[Ares]

Has to be Winston Churchill! 2015 is the 50th anniversary of his death.

nothing special about it, and that's a cracking suggestion Silversword

I only know Churchill out them three. What's the whole point of a sovereign anyway?

If you don't have the current monarch on it then it ceases to become a sovereign. Now, if you are going to replace the

St George obverse side with national heroes like Horatio Nelson then......still not sure about the idea.

Dude, Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the internet!!!!

But the Americans say they invented it. But then they would wouldn't they.

Joseph Merrick was better known by his nickname "the elephant man"...

 

Otherwise I quite agree, the sovereign should always carry the monarch's head, and having a head on the other side would just be a bit weird. Coat of arms or something would be fine occasionally, otherwise George & the Dragon.

Coincidently I share the same birthday as Churchill, and I was born the same year he died. Perhaps I am the reincarnation of the great man. After all, I'm going bald, and my belly is starting to head towards my feet but I havn't yet got the craving for cigars, and I quite like the Germans, (especially Livia at STG  ), so maybe I'm still ok.

I will go fan boy..

 

I love game of thrones

 

A game of thrones coin with Daenerys Targaryen on one side and 3 dragons on the back would be so badass.

I made a quick visual representation on photoshop 

 

[Danny-boy]

Kman, I'll take one of those.

She is gorgeous, glad we got to see her in her full glory in the early series.

I'd buy a coin with her on it any day.
