The obverse of this coin depicts the standard $2 reverse of an indigenous Australian with the southern cross instead of the typical Queen's head?

I reckon it's just wrong photos. The condition looks too different so I believe it's two different coins.

The staples and the rotation of the coin appear to match up ... here are some more photos from a different angle.

They are the seller's photos, who appears to have a track record of being genuine and trustworthy.

That's a double-tailed coin. I'd assume it's a " Magician's coin", rather than an actual mint error. Though I can't see a seam on this piece.
