Please help, is a backward number on a coin rare/valuable? I am not able to find anything similar.
Note, this is not the 1983 rare 2 Pence, it is from 1971.
Thank you.

to the CCF, EllieJane! I don't think that's a real coin. Could we see a pic of the other side?
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Definitely not a genuine British 2p coin. Looks like a novelty made for a keyring or charm bracelet, but must have cost more than the actual coin to make!

Here's a real British 2p coin:

The other side of the coin...
The face in the picture does look wrong compared to the clear image below but at the same very worn.
Seems like a lot of effort for a charm :-)
Thank you for the responses!

Looks to be some kind of pendant.

@EllieJane Obviously not produced by The Royal Mint. As previously mentioned, possibly a charm for a bracelet.
