Just purchased on ebay. Seller says the coin is non-magnetic and weighs 3.24 grams.
Do you think this is a 2010 20p struck on a 5p planchet?
Has anyone seen other examples?
ChatGPT deepresearch found several examples in other years, but only one possible example of a 2010 on checkyourchange.com.

It was listed as a 20p wrong planchet error, but that listing said further details were needed, and no specifics on which planchet were given.

Ref number 20P028

Interesting....

The British 5p coin switched from cupro-nickel to nickel-clad steel from 2011, so a 5p planchet from 2010 should be non-magnetic and weigh 3.25 grams.
