Hello All
I have just come across a new pound coin (2016) which appears to be quite unusual and having searched around on the internet, I don't seem to be able to find any other mention of other similar coins.
The first thing I noticed was that the outer ring is a distinctly different colour to other pound coins. It is more of bronze/copper colour, rather than the usual gold. Also, the coin seems to be slightly misaligned, with the Queen's crown overlapping very slightly into the outer ring.
I have attached a photo of it along with another pound coin for comparison. The coin in question is the one on the left.
Please could you take a look and let me know if you have any thoughts or comments?
Many thanks in advance.
