We have a winner. You guys are on the ball, I go out for a couple of hours and you've got it.

It's a RAM promotional stress 1 or 2 dollar. Actually it's too fat for a dollar, must be $2. Not shown in the image is the intermittent edge milling.

Gee I hope Lizzie doesn't ever see these things. Don't think she would be too happy with the design - I think they would stress her!!

Nah don't think so Pedro as if you look at some of the old stamp when she was princess she looks very much like that but what I find funny is that as soon as she became queen they made her better looking..true here see :) to me she has never been even slightly attractive but each their own :winkextra: Thanks to Robster other wise I wouldn't have known, cheers mate :hi:

see so they've been photo chopping for many many year and we didn't know and they think it's a new thing to "airbrush" to make someone look better, with todays tech they could make her look like anything :laugh2:

In real life, Her Majesty was a very "pretty little princess"

I first saw the Queen way back on the bridge of the Royal Yacht Britannia as she sailed out of Portsmouth Harbour for the Royal Visit to Australia in 1954/55 sumfin.

I then saw her again when she attended the Crystal Palace performance of the Royal Tournament in the UK mid 1950's.

I then saw her again when she visited Australia with the Royal Yacht Britannia in Sydney in  the early 1960's.

Then again in Papua new Guinea when she presented the 1st PIR, (Pacific Islands Regiment), new colours in the period 1975/77.

In each sighting she was a beautiful woman and in my opinion, she still is.
