150 and 100 px
Different widths are required in this case because the right image is the width of the coin while the left image has extra white space. The image with more white space requires a larger width to make the coin diameters look identical in size. It is best demonstrated by "selecting all" (Ctrl-A on most Windows browsers, and apple-A on Mac). This width must be computed with the aid of image processing software to measure the amount of white space.
