Title: Any guesses on what this is?
Post by: markn on October 15, 2015, 07:24:59 PM
We found this at the ANDA in Sydney last week.  It's a 5c planchet.

My guess is it got mixed up with either the 10 cent or 20 cents planchets.
And got struck along with the larger planchet.

The pic on the right looks to be a $2 reverse to me.

Being around the same size but so much thinner would explain it perhaps.

What a great coin Mark!

The gif animation is pretty cool too. It reminds me of that nice one you did for me with my 10c die clash.

Yes, PPH remembered that too and made me do one for this coin.
