Found this 2001 50c CoA 50 today. Initial thought was that I had come across a very large cud between the roo and the shield. However, after looking more closely it appears that some foreign matter has adhered to the coin.
Any ideas? Concrete (although why it is on those spots is odd).

Yeah, that's what I was going to say too.
Any indication that it may have had something attached to it?
Regardless, PMD, worth face value. ;)
Thanks guys! My handyman talents to the fore.
Doesn't appear to be anything attached (well not any more anyway).

Then probably not someone trying their hand at jewellery then, eh? Who knows, kid playing silly buggers maybe? Accidental flick of the wrist while fixing something? *shrug*
