Prince William features on a new £5 coin to mark his 40th birthday, but fans are unsure of the currency likeness.

The Duke of Cambridge has his first solo outing on an official U.K. coin to mark the life milestone

The designer said he aimed to depict the royal's fresh energy as a young father.

However, some on social media felt the final outcome looked more like a young Paul Newman, star of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Some also pointed out Prince William appears to have been given more hair on the coin than he has in real life.

One fan wrote on Twitter: "Why Paul Newman though?"
