£200.00
Two Pound coin with a dramatic 'fried egg' error. This 2015 bi-metallic £2 has a rare minting error, likened to a fried egg because it looks like the central cupro-nickel disc is leaking out of the outer nickel-brass ring, like the yolk of a runny fried egg. This is caused by a flaw or misalignment of the two parts of the blank coin, which can produce a dramatic effect when it is struck. While many £2 and £1 coins are struck slightly off-centre, it's very unusual to find a coin with such an impressive fried egg flaw as this 2015 Two Pound. This example has a notable gap between the planchets and has clearly seen circulation, having somehow passed The Royal Mint's quality control. It's a very unusual piece and one that is highly sought after by serious collectors of modern error coins.

What Is A Fried Egg Error Coin?

A 'fried egg error' coin is a type of minting error that affects bi-metallic coins like UK £1s and £2s. During the minting process, the two parts of the coin should become fused together, but in the case of a fried egg error, a minor misalignment or flaw in the metal, results in the silver-coloured inner disc appearing to leak out from the centre of the design, like the yolk of a runny fried egg. Mostly, these errors are quite minor, but occasionally, fried egg errors are significant and unmistakable.

UK 2015 Technology Two Pound

This fried egg error appears on a 2015-dated Two Pound coin issued for circulation by The Royal Mint. This piece features the 'Technology' design, originally created for the first modern £2s, paired with Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.

Are Fried Egg Errors Rare?

Many UK £2 and £1 coins show evidence of a minor sort of fried egg error where the design is not quite lined up with the bi-metallic metal blank. You are likely to have a couple of coins like this in your wallet right now. However, dramatic and very obvious fried egg errors like this one are very rare and are seldom found in circulation.
