Probably broken off of a brooch made from coins soldered together.

I can't think of a better explanation than that. It certainly can't be a mint error; the tiny legible remnant of the obverse legend of the second coin says "...IVS V" - it's a piece of a George V coin, which can't have been floating around inside the mint while the Edward VII 1910 coin was being made.

Whoever wins this auction is buying a piece of scrap silver.

If the seller pulled the listing as soon as they found out that it was not in fact an error, that's a plus for that seller in my books.
