There is definitely something under the 2 which has an odd shape, as if it were cut to accomodate a pre-existing 1 and a slight projection into the field in the middle of the 2. The '0' shows no sign of having been re-cut. My scanner is getting a little elderly (like me) so this is the best image I can get.

Probably. From those I've looked at there appears to be one with the obvious modification of the 2 but little or nothing on the 0 (as yours), but there is also a die with a clear 9 loop inside the 0 and a much more nebulous 1 under the 2.
