Bizarre Photos That Will Make You Do a Double Take

9. When the Late Queen Was on the Run

We're not experts on British coins, so we can't say exactly what the 50-pence piece is supposed to show. But whatever it is, it lines up perfectly with the late Queen Elizabeth's face. Was this intentional? The odds of this happening by chance seem incredibly low. It must have been a precise alignment. The optical illusion created by this accidental match transforms the Queen's dignified portrait into what looks like an action shot. Her Majesty appears to be sprinting across the coin, thanks to the lucky placement, giving the usually formal image a playful twist. The humor comes from the contrast between the Queen's regal pose and this unintentional suggestion of activity. The fact that it happened by pure chance makes it even better. Unexpected discoveries like this make examining coins surprisingly entertaining, showing how context—or in this case, placement—can completely change the meaning of an image. It's a small detail that makes a simple coin fascinating.
