Что-то в этой монете есть. В первую очередь за счет аверса.
|
|
|
|
Аверс и реверс - абсолютно противоположные и не сочетающиеся элементы. Критично? Да. Это мое мнение.
|
|
|
|
возможно стоило аверс и реверс сделать зеркальными
|

|
|
Вот лично мне монета не нравится: аверс своей яркостью, а реверс скучностью.

несовпадение сторон по всем параметрам
