I hope they make it flattering.. I don't really like the current design, wrinkles and everything, but I suppose it's only going to get worse 

 

I would actually really like it is they just did a nice portrait of a young her at her best, but no real chance of that happening

Skip him, give it to William, get Will some hair plugs or whatever Wayne Rooney is doing

 

 

He was a handsome young man, seems to have aged very quickly...

 

Best would be Kate on the coins though

Sooooooo does this mean that all the Lunar, all the commonwealth coins etc, etc, etc, (sounds like Yul Brynner) for the younger ones here you are...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049408/

 

Will have to be minted again with the new portrait.

I think they will just keep the old portrait until the lunar series is finished in 4 years time. At least I hope so. The inconsistency of the obverse would annoy me.

I don't know Chris it wouldn't really bother me about changing the obverse you never have that side showing in your case anyway, you look the interesting reverse of the coin.

Agreed.

Maybe Perth Mint will release another goat with the new portrait!!!

With the changing head and low prices this may turn out to be a great year for certain coin purchases, i'm thinking the 2015 BU britannia with the new surface and old head may turn out to be a winner.
