Notice that the 1 somoni alone (far left) has a different pictorial design.

Estonia, euro, most imaginative, big fat yawn.

Romania, beautiful, kudos, respect. 

OK, the 1 and 5 are slightly different.

So, you are suggesting your own country's coins are boring? I hope you don't end up in prison. 

humm ... let me delete my post before the cops come down and put be behind bars for Anti National Activities.

Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg.

Three big yawns for three tiny countries.

Wrong. On the UK coins, the Shield of the Royal Arms has been broken up into a jigsaw. Therefore, the reverse of each coin is entirely different when you look at it. I don't like this theme, however. I see your point but I reject it, because it's wrong, as regards this topic title.

Not quite. On the Benelux coins, three different heads are used, on UK coins there is only one. You didn't show the other side.

I recently purchased three former Soviet Union sets and I found all of their former coinage was similar in style on both all the obverses and reverses.

Albania, 1964 set.

Yes, many communist states had very boring designs.

Central African States set.





West African States set.

The Central African States and West African States tend to use similar obverse and reverse designs for each coin.

Costa Rica.

Same coat of arms on the obverse, denomination on the reverse.

Apart from the different number of dots on the reverse (are they braille?), the coins are all very similar.

Paraguay, 1953.
