Hi All,

I know that this coin is not a US coin but there is no other forum regarding coin errors to post my question in.

I think the coin on the right has some kind of error in the domination, if so can anybody tell me
What is the type of this error ?

Egyptian-20-Piastres-Error

Thanks

For whatever it's worth, but it looks like a Struck Through Grease? or foreign whatever error, where the bottom of the coin on the right's denomination has been cut short etc as opposed to the coin on the left where it is longer.

This is just my opinion based on the pictures. :)

part of the die was clogged with grease/gunk/whatever so the denomination did not fully strike up- relatively common.
However, if major parts of the detail- say the entire denomination- was missing, then the coin(regardless of country of origin) would certainly have a premium but not enough to get you rich
