yea, not a great representation of either one. She is really a very pretty young lady, i really like her. He doesnt look like that either. His eyes are slightly slanted upwards in the coin.
Of all the lovely smiling photos of Kate, could they not have chosen a pose with her signature smile for this coin?
Wow, that is not a very nice representation of them. Kate looks like she's 80.
