There are a couple of reports of weakly struck and re-entered numbers in the date for 1962. It would be very helpful if you could provide a higher resolution scan/photo that also shows more of the surrounding detail, including the border beads and exergue.

Thanks for your response. i tried many times to get a better scan and this is the best one, the tip of the 2 apears white, this is only on the scanned images and not on the coin.
