Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Cents - Elizabeth II (2nd portrait; Mule) ND (1967) coin from New Zealand and The Bahamas is that it is a mule coin, meaning it has a mismatched obverse (heads) and reverse (tails) design. This occurs when a die intended for one coin is accidentally paired with a die intended for another coin, resulting in a unique combination that is not meant to be. Mule coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and are considered a fascinating error in the minting process.
