Muled gold proof tenth ounce Britannia coin: a rare unrecorded Royal Mint error.
Obverse Of 2002 Britannia Gold Proof Mule
The obverse of this error coin features Raphael Maklouf's third defintive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, rather than Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth effigy which appears on other 2002 Britannias. The legend around reads 'ELIZABETH · II · DEI · GRATIA · REGINA · F · D' with '10 POUNDS' below.
2002 Britannia Tenth Ounce Reverse Design
The reverse features the correct motif: Philip Nathan's classic 'standing Britannia' holding trident, olive branch and shield. The legend reads '1/10 · OUNCE · FINE · GOLD · BRITANNIA · 2002 ·'.
Specification Of Pre-2012 1/10oz Britannias
This error coin conforms to the standard specifications of an older tenth ounce Britannia. It's struck to proof standard in 3.41 grams of 22-carat gold. Actual gold weight: 3.11 grams (0.1 troy ounces). Diameter: 16.50 millimetres. Edge: milled. Face value: £10 / Ten Pounds.
How Many 2002 Mule Britannias Were Issued?
It is unknown how many 2002 tenth ounce Britannias were issued with the incorrect obverse. The error appears to effect a small number of the 1/10oz coins included in the 945 4-coin proof sets issued in 2002 though the issue may also impact some of the 1,500 coins issued in an individual presentation. This rare example is offered without any of the original presentation packaging.
