2019 Australian Five Cent Coin - ERROR COIN - Die Clash - Jody Clark Effigy - Lowest Mintage 5c Coin Ever!
Tax included.
This 2019 Australian Five Cent Coin features a Die Clash, a very rare occurrence during the minting process.
In addition to this already rare occurrence, this 5 cent coin is also a 2019 Jody Clark effigy, the lowest mintage 5 cent coin since 1966!
With only 4.1 million of this coin minted, it takes the crown from the 2016 50th anniversary of decimal currency 5 cent coin with 4.8 million minted.
This mishap occurs when opposing dies collide with each other when a planchet fails to be fed into the striking chamber. Most complete planchet misfeeds don’t result in clashed dies because dies normally don’t touch each other in the absence of a planchet.
