The royals did not like the design.

Eventually a coin showing the Golden Hind was issued instead.

I can understand their hesitation. The portraits look OK on the sketch, but there were some similar designs that came out pretty horrible on the coin. If in addition you are surrounded by your spittle, a golden behind is a great alternative for a royal. ;)
