I hope it is a legitimate error as I have never received one in my change. Edit: sorry the coin is 2012 and not 1997. Edited by mrv 05/31/2024 12:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 11:22 am Looks like a brockage of some form - the error specialists should be able to give you more. They would be best for valuation too as the error market is very fickle. With that head it should not be 1997. The Queen's bust is younger and has a necklace for 1997. Can you post a pick of the reverse? Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17894 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 4:50 pm Clashed dies? The Queen's portrait on these coins is usually quite weakly struck, and the reverse strike is usually strong, so I can imagine that a clash would leave quite an impression on the obverse die.
