Very nice error. Welcome to CP. Thanks for sharing your coins with us.

I am very much lucky to acquire this from an antique shop here in the Philippines. Believe it or not, I found this coin from a basket of assorted, less-valued, Phil coins. Seems the owner/staff are not aware of it's rarity. This coin series is no longer in circulation for more than 20 years now. And the big thing is I bought it only for .20 cents(USD)!

First of all Welcome to the forum and That is indeed a great coin.

My question is: Is this a multi design punch? (not sure the exact term) Basicaly im looking at the obvers (the front) and the douple punched portion does nto seem to be the same design as the "main" coin. The word "One" is no where to be seen on the coin and if it is under the second strike then the word would be backwords or up side down? Anyone else see this as odd?

Oh yes and all else aside... 20 cents!!! AWESOME Find!!!

That's one of the best looking errors I've seen. And at 20 cent, a steal.
