Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1972 New Zealand 10 cent coin with the Elizabeth II (2nd portrait; Obverse Mule) design made of copper-nickel is that it has a unique error. Some of these coins were minted with a misprinted obverse die, resulting in a raised "2" in the date that looks like a "12." This error is known as the "12-sided 10 cent coin" and is highly sought after by collectors, making it a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
