NGC MS 68
Unique Off-Metal Discovery
SOLD

This is a discovery coin and a unique off-metal mint error. This 5 Pound 2oz Silver bullion coin, produced at the Royal Mint in London, was accidentally struck on a 2 Pound 1oz planchet.

The obverse features the official coinage portrait of King Charles. The reverse, designed by David Lawrence, portrays the mythical bull.

The 5 Pound 2oz Silver bullion coin was individually packaged in a single coin capsule by the Royal Mint. An eagle-eyed collector noticed that the weight was approximately 50% and realized that he had an off-metal major mint error.

Authenticated and certified by NGC as Struck on a 2 Pound Planchet, it is unique to date. It is amazing how the Royal Mint accidentally released this unique off-metal.
