This listing is for a genuine £1 error coin, as you can see this has edge lettering and it's been pictured next to a standard coin, I believe this to be a late 80's or early 90's coin due to the type of metal being very similar as more recent coins have a different alloy and colour to them. When compared with another coin you can see the milling and polishing stages have not yet been completed and the lettering spacing is exactly the same distance with the same font which confirms this is genuine, a nice rare and unique coin which would make a great addition to an error coin collection. Please look at other items.
