I don't think it looks like her.
The face on the coin looks to be homo sapiens....

Oh well, c'est la vie. Not too likely many people will ever see one anyway.

The 1-ounce coin, unveiled at the Washington mint Thursday afternoon, is struck in 0.9999 fine 24-karat gold.

The mint sells another 1-ounce coin in 22-karat gold for $1,510.
