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?

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.

Seems a bit provocative and suggestive.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

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?
