Great Britain 2003 20 Pence Off Centre Error

British 20 Pence from 2003 Struck Off Centre

This error coin hardly looks like a 7 sided heptagon as a British 20p should. That’s because the only part of the coin that engaged with the collar was the bottom of the reverse. It could be argued then this coin is a tilted partial collar and if the lip was slightly higher you’d call it a ramstrike.

We can also see a rather large die crack through the bottom of the portrait, through the IRB initials and down to the edge of the coin.
