Sydney: Australia's royal mint has defended a widely-lampooned image of the late Queen Elizabeth II on new commemorative coins celebrating her life.
The "stunning heavenly" 50 cent and $5 Australian coins were revealed by the mint this week, featuring a front-facing effigy of the queen to celebrate her reign, 100 years after her birth.
But the royal's image, which the Royal Australian Mint described on Thursday as a "stunning portrait" rendered with "warmth and dignity", evoked widespread online mirth.
“No, stop don't release it, melt them all and get at proper portrait of The Queen not a screen shot of Mrs Doubtfire,” said one user in reply to the mint's monetary revelation on Facebook, comparing the portrait to the character played by Robin Williams in the 1993 film.
