Photography on silver coins are tricky and I just can't get it right. Best is to see the coin in your hand as many collectors say. I've added the picture of the original print for context and comparison. Perhaps having a solid Cameo texture of Kiyomori may take away from the total appeal of the coin and having some elements in BU like his sword and or parts of his clothes to provide some contrast & depth. Yet it is still overall an excellent coin.
Thanks for coming to comment @underground 😎 💋

I was complementing the Engraver, and I think your photography is FINE!
As far as coin photography goes, a light box is darn near a necessity. It diffuses and disperse the light, eliminating shadows and enhancing details. One can be built from reasonably priced materials, or purchased. It also provides a steady mounting for the camera or phone.
I may have to go the cheap route and make one while on my vacation. I may be the Time saver I need.
Thanks Undy! (Kiss emoji)
