Looks like a trial strike, can anybody identify the pattern underlying the queen?

Yes, definitely a 10c obverse die that has previously clashed heavily with a 10c reverse die, then used for this press. The lyrebird design makes a lovely clash impression.

Trial strike coin could be the perfect explanation Fred.

I saw it last night - supposedly found in a mint bag.
Let's see what comes of it.

New, really unusual coin, in perfect condition, going straight to PCGS before people have seen many floating around in circulation....
I am not holding my breath that any will be found in circulation.

I can't understand how it can only grade MS63 if it is straight out of a mint bag? And I haven't seen ANY 2020 MoR dollars available anywhere, certainly none on fleabay.
