Got my piece yesterday.
It did not have that weird upward looking eye that I wrote about 2 weeks back, so I conclude it is most likely a light reflection of its eyes.
As a stand-alone coin, it is normal looking, I guess. But with the context of its fantastic first five coins of the Queen's Beasts series, I still think this pales in comparison. Kind of...... meh. Well, I got my piece to complete the set, that's about as excited as I can get.
I think if they have dramatized the figure from the shield, it might have looked better.
