Comment
Double Obverse Mule.Interesting fact
The 5 Fils (Mule) ND (1962-2017) coin from Kuwait made of Nickel brass is a unique coin because it features a rare error known as a "mule" error. A mule error occurs when a coin is struck with the dies of a different coin, resulting in a mismatched combination of designs. In this case, the obverse (front) of the coin features the emblem of Kuwait, while the reverse (back) features the design of a 5 Fils coin from a different year. This error makes the coin particularly valuable and sought after by collectors.
