author HG Wells has been criticized for featuring multiple errors -- including the decision to give his famous"tripod" machine from"The War of the Worlds" four legs.
"It's honestly heartening to see Wells memorialised! I think most Wellsians feel that way," Adam Roberts, vice-president of the H.G. Wells Society, told CNN."It's just, given how famous titles like The War of the Worlds and The Invisible Man are, and how influential they've been in science fiction and popular culture more broadly, it's a little surprising the Royal Mint signed off on such elementary errors where this coin is concerned," he added.
"I suspect the designer has been influenced consciously or otherwise by DC Comics' 'Gentleman Ghost' -- but he had nothing to do with Wells." And Chris Costello, the coin's designer, insisted he was intentionally reinterpreting imagery from Wells' works for a modern audience. "I think Wells would have been pleased with the idea of the coin. Who wouldn't? But the errors would have driven him crazy," Stephen Baxter, a science fiction writer who wrote a 2017 sequel to"The War of the Worlds" that was endorsed by Wells' estate, told CNN.
