Egypt 5 Qirsh - Mule or Mischief? [solved]

Hi,

I was sorting through coins that my father had given me after his trip to Egypt sometime in early 1990s. I have had this coin since almost 30 years.

I found a 5 Qirsh 1404 AH (1984) coin that has 2nd digit of Islamic year almost missing.

Is this a mule or someone might have done a mischief?

The digit is there but very faint.  Only a highly skilled person can precisely remove that digit without damaging anything else.

Not a mule, that's for sure, look at this definition:

Most certainly, it's PMD (Post Mint Damage) coin.

     Hi neotilva

Ole i think it is a filled die. What would make it a common mint error. That is when the number broke off and stayed in the die.

Hi Daryl, you're probably right.

   Hi Ole hope you are well. Your daughter make it there yet. 

Hi Daryl

we're all fine, and you? 

My daughter comes in the beginning of August.

Take care

Ole

Doing good. Glad to hear all is well. Forgot when she was coming. I hope she has a safe and good trip. But we got way off topic here.  

Thanks ALLRED1950 & Sjoelund.
