JoyPixels, 9 out of 10. This has an appropriately numismatic vibe to me. It makes good use of the elements of design and strikes a good balance between the monument, border motif, legend, and the date. The 'est.' abbreviation is more for a storefront or a clothing brand, but it’s close enough.

Huawei, 8 out of 10. The horizontal lines unmistakenly echo those on a Chinese yuan. It looks like real pocket change to me. No denomination or legend, but honestly, maybe none are needed. There’s nice texture and a defined rim. It has a subtle depth and heft. It’s simple, but not cartoonish.

🔎 Clue 3: The Composition The artist changed the Count Duke’s clothing from stately attire to a military uniform, which is consistent with Velázquez’s practice during his early years in the Spanish court. 🖼️ Gaspar de Gusman, Count of Olivarez, about 1626, Paulus Pontius. The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Bequest of Herbert Mitchell, 2008, 2018.839.107
Another portrait of the Count-Duke, an engraving by Paulus Pontius, which is credited as "after" Velázquez. The portrait shows the subject in the same clothing and with the same expression and features.
