That's the result of a die clash, and it's a pretty good one.

@SF, very nice die clash. You can confirm this yourself by creating an overlay of one side and then placing it over the other side to show that the marks in the field line up with the design features from the other side.

The curious - and rare - thing here is that both sides show the clash. You can see remnants of the "10" around the building on one side, and remnants of the building and crescent around the "10" on the other side.

It's my understanding that, in the event of a clashed die, one of the two dies usually fails shortly afterwards, so most die-clash coins only have one side visibly showing the clash.

So, you think it might be a 'man' make error?
