Hi all, i've just come across this British 2005 2 pound coin ( gunpowder plot ) with excess metal on the reverse of the coin.
Has anyone else come across this with this pericular coin?

Interesting. I've got many coins that have the same type of error. Please can someone give us more info on this!

Ok, so I now have three of these to compare and...the extra metal on the sceptre isn't supposed to be there. The broken blades are part of the design. Hope this clears that up.
