Does anyone know what's happened to this $2 coin? Is this a genuine error or just PMD?

It looks like sticky tape to me Herc, the yellow bits should peel off if you have the patience.

Yep, sticky tape or glue. It will come off with some perseverance.

If it's not tape it may be lacquer.

I didn't see your reply before posting my afterthought.

What sort of toffee do you reckon?

Not apple toffee flavour, but I'm going with a superglue type lacquer substance, pmd.

Thanks, everyone. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a mint error.
