It's called 'Ghosting' and is very common on UK bronze coins issued from 1911 to 1926. There is no added value. The effigy of King George V on the early George V coins, especially the penny, was in very high relief. When the blanks were pushed between the dies, the displaced metal left a 'ghost' of the King's head on the reverse. The problem was solved in 1926-8, first by modifying the King's effigy, and then by reducing it in size on the halfpenny and penny.

It's a form of Die Deterioration. https://www.error-ref.com/progressi...gn-transfer/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
