I like it.
To me it looks like man has turned his back on god now, and has also encroached upon liberty. Both apt descriptions of what our own country seems to be going through.
In the new coin, man has grown larger than he was in the past, now overstepping the carefully constructed and designed bounds which previously kept him in a proper and harmonious place.
This overgrowth corresponds with the overgrowth of our own egos and feelings of self importance, made worse by our social media age and all the associated devolution of culture around us. The shit consumer society we all swim in.
Finally the encroachment on liberty which you can see at the top echoes the same loss of liberty we have all endured with this scamdemic. It also makes the head look like it’s floating off the coin.
TLDR To me the new coin = clown world coin
Jefferson was changed on the Nickle over a decade ago. I think you're reading a little too much into it.
Somebody at the q forum is reading too much into things? Lol thats what we do here Ian. I dont think it’s too much a stretch to analyze it from a artistic interpretation standpoint. Better believe the original designer had those things in mind which I mention - whether the second artist deliberately crossed those lines or is just a dipshit matters not. The fact remains that art and design are also fronts in this culture war and deserve their own level of scrutiny.
If you have never seen him I suggest looking up the late Roger Scruton as it will be an invaluable guide to spotting degenerate art in contemporary society. I see this coin as fitting well into that category.
I'm well aware of degenerate and pop-art influences, especially in relation to money laundering and human trafficking. Basquiat, Warhol, Pollock, etc.
I just don't agree with your interpretation. Far more prominent symbolism has been on our currency for a long, long time.
I'm a lot more concerned with the elimination of tangible currency.
