Hi I have the following kew gardens 50p but it seems to have an error there seems to be an extra leaf on the bottom right side stem. I have check this coin against a kew garden 50p held by a colleague and images of the coin on Internet they also don't have this extra leaf.

Is this an error coin?

Thanks in advance for replies

I think this is indeed an error, probably caused by die wear (maybe a die chip?) if I had to guess. I think it's mere coincidence that it looks like an extra leaf, though.

This is just my opinion based on what I observe, others may have different views on it.

Beware Chinese Kew 50p's are rife on ebay. If you google you can find some decent comparisons.

Thank you for the replies so far I have attached photos of the front and back of the coin it doesn't look like a fake. I have compared it to another kew garden coin and it looks the same as that.

There seems to be another die clash on top left stem as well.
