Interesting fact

The Double Obverse variety of this coin features an error in the die-making process, where the obverse (front) side of the coin was accidentally struck twice, resulting in a doubled image of King Edward VII's portrait. This error makes the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it's considered a rare and unique variation of the Pattern ⅒ Penny.
