Hi,
I've got this coin:
which I believe to be a relative of this one:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15224.html
However, unless I'm misreading the date, mine seems to be from 2001, or 2009 at a push, while the coin in the link apparently runs only from 2003-6. Mine is 19.5-20mm in diameter, which seems to fit though, and from what I can make out of the lettering on the existing coin, it's the same.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks kommodore. That's odd though: see how VS2001 comes between 2005 and 2006. What's happening there?

Yes, probably it was released in 1948 (our 1948) and it shown 2001 on the coin.
So they put it in our years order.

In that case, can I request that someone on the team adds that year?
Thanks.

With pleasure.
Definitely, but should it be what I said or a mistake and should be 2001 (1944)?

Who is ultimately responsible for this decision? I've contributed all I can from my coin, so it's up to wiser heads than mine to make the change :)
