I've been trying to find if this is an error coin or not for a while. The borders on the front and back seem to be reversed, and I can not find another like it. The border that says "Estados Unidos Mexicanos" is on the side of the coin with "$2" and on all others I've seen it has the "Estados Unidos Mexicanos" border on the side with the coat of arms emblem. Any help would be appreciated!
@BDHB30, first welcome to CCF. Second, as it appears as though the innore core has absorbed a significant hit, I wonder if the two parts of this coin were forceably separated, reversed, an then put back together? Just spitballin' a guess--others should weigh in too.

I thought the same thing but the picture actually makes it look like the seem is 1000x worse than it actually is because of the weird shadowing. It's actually really in tact and sealed pretty evenly. It definitely is possible though, as that duvet right in the middle could be from a forceful prying
with the others, this a common thing with the new pound coins in the UK, ebay was flooded with them. I've heard if you freeze the coin the core pops out alot easier.
