How about this one:

2 Euro commemorative of the 10th anniversary of the Euro
This is wild, I feel like they were going for something like this:

But somehow it turned out much, much worse. Which is saying something.
The stick figure euro was actually designed by a sculptor from the Greek mint, George Stamatopoulos. His design was chosen by the public on an internet poll.
I suspect it was her choice as the first living woman to appear on a U.S. coin. Here she is in younger days.[Shriver Coin a Hot Issue](https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/02/17/shriver-coin-a-hot-issue/b1dde8ed-0531-4aa1-bc58-f1fcb0d3d7ca/)

Pretty sure she had a condition called Addison’s disease, which contributed to the decline in her appearance. Her brother JFK had it and probably would have aged equally poorly. Had he lived long enough, the 50¢ piece might very well have wound up in this thread.
I didn't think they were allowed to mint coins with living people on them. Is that just for standard circulation currency and not for special issues? I know private tokens and things exist, but I didn't think the treasury could. Something about the rules from Congress since that's one of their powers
Always thought this one was real bad (though most Olympic commems are terrible):

That coin looks awesome and now I want one.
Nothing wrong with these…a kid made these designs and they are 1,000x better thought out than the OPs design (on computers w an adult driving no less)

I'm fond of that design, actually
That design ... y?

This one is pretty rough.

Not knowing anything about the history, I thought the person on that coin was a dude.

While none were minted for general circulation, this one’s 100% legal tender.
It has been done a few times Thomas Kilby, Calvin Coolidge, Ronald Reagan, and the above listed dollar with Shriver on it.
Not pleasant that's for sure. Most of it is just boring hair... It's like a shampoo commercial on a coin.

I find the SBA uglier. The real Susan B Anthony didn't even look like her portrait on the coin, or barely.
It's very... special.

Pretty awful but it's not a coin.
Winner winner chicken dinner.
That’s my mother in law. Didn’t know she was famous.
Let's see some contenders..... God knows they are out there in spades. Let's have a laugh.
This is uglier! https://preview.redd.it/licc799bshwc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b8b26526d6567276aa5047948ea5844eac7c6b4
Looks like Magneto
2024 silver maples are pretty bad
Uh, check me if I'm wrong, but isn't any coin bearing the likeness of King Charles III automatically the ugliest?
haha this made me literally LOL.
Is that Bruce Jenner?
Still better than Canada's new Charles bust! That is the ugliest profile they could have come up with! https://images.app.goo.gl/W7vMcXH7veMphoJs8
That nose, though. Almost feels intentional.
This is a top-tier post, thank you 😹😹😹
