2014 Lord Kitchener First World War Circulated Two Pound Coin With Mule Obverse Obverse

Buy a 2014 Lord Kitchener First World War Circulated Two Pound Coin With Mule Obverse

Rare Lord Kitchener error £2 coin, missing the denomination on the obverse. This is a circulated UK coin with what is known as a 'mule' error, where the wrong pair of dies have been used together during the minting process. In this case, the obverse design from another coin, likely the Trinity House £2, has been paired with a reverse design showing the famous Lord Kitchener Wants You recruitment poster, an iconic piece of First World War British propaganda. While some 5,720,000 standard Lord Kitchener £2 coins were released into circulation by The Royal Mint, only a handful with the mule error are known. This scarce modern error coin was in circulation before it was identified and shows signs of handling and wear. This is a key addition to any serious collection of UK errors.
