At a guess, a cockup in the CAD software - it's the sort of error you get in constructive solid geometry apps.  How nobody in the QA department didn't see this in the dies is anybody's guess.

The  Blunder mint would have to look at their stuff to be able to see the errors

You'd think the Royal Munt would do stuff like that, but I could see a workflow where somebody vetted the background and somebody vetted the effigy, then added A+B in a CSG app without looking too hard at the resulting model.  If it's the first time they've had a bust that went deep enough to overlap the background design then it's not out of the question that they didn't think to check it.

Back in 1817 the Royal Mint was famous for being right on the cutting edge of quality control.  Today .. You wouldn't normally think of those two together, at least not in a sentence that doesn't also contain an expletive.
