Fake?

[KevjustKev]

Everything seems to checkout, the weight and passes 'the magnet test' but looks different than others.

Any ideas?

Looks odd 😕 and ain't it meant to have 1 dollar where it has the 2014 on the queens side.

[TheShinyStuff]

I think you're right. Should say one dollar, not the year.

Yep what I thought. But to make such a big mistake when everything else looks good. Special minting?

Illegal to sell it as the genuine article but not otherwise.

100%.   Probably  illegal to hold too in some countrys.

Can you post a photo from the side  next to another Perhmint coin?

I wonder if the difference is  notable.

Twinned with the Cambridge University National Trust Society...

What a shame in respect of the coin though - a tough pill to swallow.  At least it is silver and not gold.

A.G.A. Another great acronym.

Do you mean "at least it's not silver" and not "not gold"?

Although you may have been joking, there is truth in that. We just bought another 6 mint sacks of pre-decimal pennies yesterday, even though we already own about 5 tonnes of bronze pennies and halfpennies.

At the worst, it would make great ballast for your yacht or super-yacht, just don't have a boating accident!

Yeah, alright, OK, fine, don't rub it in.

Sorry about that, but I find it difficult to hold back when I see a linguistic or logical error.
