Royals on Coins and Medals
One of a monarchs most public yet often overlooked duties is to appear on the obverse of their realm's coinage and often on the obverse of military service medals. During some research I did ( as I'm into to coin collecting) on the Royal Australia Mint's website, I found that there have been 4 versions of Queen Elizabeth II's portrait on Australian currency - whihc can be seen via links from here : About obverse designs , while HM has been depicted on medals in both the Imperial State Crown or no crown, along with her father (Department of Defence - Defence Honours and Awards and Department of Defence - Defence Honours and Awards ).
On this note, I thought it would be good to compare some other countries monarchs depictions on currency and medals, particularly from Europe. Does your sovereign wear a crown? Do they have a good portrait?
