Is he the squirrel, fish, or one of the fireflies?  How, pray tell -- barring symbolism that eludes me, is this representative of royalty?  Elsewhere, early on, I expressed the opinion that Charles III, on one coin, was a dead-ringer for FDR.  'nuff said.

A little to fluffy for me.

I don't think any of them are a very good likeness of the King...Maybe a crown would help. (I also think the Irish Republic patterns were of better workmanship.)

They're ok, I like the look of the £1 & £2 coins and the theme.

Honestly, not that bad.   Not a crazy nice work of art but still better than the dead presidents we have on our coins.

I had ordered the definitive set from the British Royal Mint before the design change was announced.  I like it.
