🔍 Notable Features and Minting Errors:

1. Metal Overflow around the Iberian Peninsula:

Noticeable excess metal connecting Portugal and France.

Complete loss of separation between Great Britain and France on the map.

 

2. Shifted Background Pattern (Radiating Lines):

Disruption of the radial line pattern on the left side of the coin, particularly around the European map — likely due to die misalignment.

 

3. Overall Relief Deformation:

Some stars and edge lines appear misaligned or partially blurred due to die wear or striking issues. Can someone give the value of these errors, if possible. Thanks.
 

If you're going to ask about relatively minute distortions on the coin don't you think it would be advantageous for everyone to post a picture that was in focus so everyone could see what you see?

If you can see, Portugal is not separated as it should be on the old map. Great Britain has "climbed" onto France, and you can also see a growth on one star and a thin wallpaper on the right.

No sorry. I can't see any of those things to be sure it's the coin and not an artifact of the out of focus picture. If you want a valid answer you have to ask a valid question which includes an in focused high resolution picture. If you can be bothered to do that why should anyone else be bothered to answer?

Thanks for your reply. I will try to do as your advised. 

protip: rest the camera on the edge of a beer can instead of holding it in your hand.

 

I can already see the mentioned deformations are impact damage, along with many other impact marks all over it.

Thank you.
