2 euro coin with fried egg minting error
2 euro coin with fried egg minting error
Description
This is a 2 Euro coin with a dramatic off-center bi-metallic core (or "egg") minting error, where the brass inner pill is heavily shifted and deformed into the silver-colored outer ring.
What Happened During Minting
Off-Center Core Assembly. When bi-metallic coins are made, the inner disc is inserted into the outer ring right before both are stamped together under high pressure. Here, the inner brass core was misaligned and partially overlapped the outer ring when the dies struck the coin.
Spilled Design Details. Because the metals were squeezed together out of alignment, the map of Europe and the word "EURO" appear distorted and stretched across the warped seam.
