Comment
This is a rare mule which it is thought was struck on or around August 1961 when the Royal Mint inadvertently used the obverse proof die from the British Caribbean Territories two cents, N# 4018 . The exact mintage is unknown.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is a proof mule, meaning that it was struck multiple times to create a highly detailed and polished finish, making it a unique and rare variation of the 1/12 Shilling coin.
