Hi everyone, I'm new in this forum.
I have two Biafra 1 pound coins from 1969 KM#6.
The strange thing is that one coin has a medalic die rotation and the other has a coin die rotation. I took a picture with a mirror to show that:

Biafra-1-Pound-1969-KM#6-Die-Rotation-Variety/Error?

so the question goes: is this a variety or error?
Krause does not mention anything, but Krause is also wrong about the weight of these coins. Actual weight varies about 25-27 grams, while Krause says 19,76 grams.

both coins are from different collections, to which they were acquired about 30 years ago.

According to Numista, both are available.
With 80% being in Coin Alignment, Medal Alignment is
probably worth a premium. This would be a variety, not an error.
Also the weight should be 25.6g so yours are within spec.
