5p coin struck on an underweight blank. The planchet split in half parrallel to the face of the coin prior to the coin being minted, tell-tale metal striations can be seen on the obverse. The coin was struck after the split occurred. Weight is 2.76g, almost exactly half of the 5.65g a complete coin should weigh. It shows extreme strike weakness due to the very thin planchet.
