I must be the only one who thinks the graphic is a bit disturbing.

What are those two things sticking out at 45º angles from her head?

Her great great granny was the empress of India, so anything is possible.

The only thing on her head is a crown, and there's the top of the throne behind it. The things "sticking out at 45° angles" are being held in her hands.

I thought she was doing a burlesque, which is why I posted it.

Upon looking at the coin for the first time, it looks like the queen is holding someone by the legs, upside down - perhaps a shakedown for more money?
