I got a 1903 2 1/2 cent northern Borneo coin but on the Numista page it says it has"Coin Alignment" but mine has medal alignment, Can I have some help?

Quite a few authentic older coins have alignment errors; I have a 1879 Hong Kong 1 Cent that has a 75% alignment error to what is listed on Numista.
Beware if your more than 50% alignment error coin is a valuable, big silver coin, however: That is usually an indicator of a fake.

I do not think it is fake cause I bought it from a trusted dealer although they may not have known cause I got it from a bin.

Yes, mine is also medal; all other coins in the series are medal too, so it is probably catalogue that is wrong.
Now corrected.
