 * Support - Very well done. I was going to comment on how some of the edges appear soft, but then I paid closer attention to the wear and tear on the coin. The image is sharp. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:44, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Support – Old & rare; good detail. Sca (talk) 13:12, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Support – As above. Regarding the use of the word "effigy" in the caption, are you sure that's the best word? Read the first paragraph in the article Effigy. "Image" might be better. - CorinneSD (talk) 22:52, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I completely understand how it sounds strange, and I do think image sounds better, but it seems to be a term frequently used in numismatic writing to refer to the portrait section on the front of a coin (even described as such within a Wikipedia numismatic glossary)... --Godot13 (talk) 23:03, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I learned something new. That means that this is a specialized use of the word. Perhaps some information about this should be added the Effigy article. CorinneSD (talk) 23:20, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * - Good suggestion, paragraph added.--Godot13 (talk) 03:28, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
