Set of 5 coins for sale: Belgium 2 Euro 2003: Error Coin photo 4 Rare coin sought after by collectors 2 Euro Year 2003 Bimetallic alloy Central coin made of nickel-plated copper. Nickel-plated brass ring Side type Smooth and serrated sections Shape: Round Obverse/Reverse arrangement: Not reversed Edge inscription: 2 ★ ★ 2 ★ ★ 2 ★ ★ 2 ★ ★ 2 ★ ★ Weight (g) 8.8 Diameter (mm) 25.75 Thickness (mm) 2.2 Obverse: Star Famous people Description: Albert II (King of Belgium) Designers: Jan Alfons Keustermans This coin was produced with errors introduced during the minting process. Various defects occurred on the coin, such as deformations, imprecise strikes, and irregular edges. The die was jammed, and the strike was made without a disc between the dies and the abutting high points. The result: the outline of the obverse image was reflected (slightly convex) on the reverse die, which is visible on the coin in a slightly concave form as grooves and longitudinal lines—the so-called "ghost effect." Another error was the off-center striking of the coin. This involves applying the die so that part of the coin disc was outside the die, creating additional, multiple images on the reverse or obverse of the coin. This was the result of a double impression of the image transferred from the token to the die. Obverse: During minting, the central ring was depressurized, the date 2003 was faint, and the stars on the outer circumference were faint. There are three deep grooves on the outer ring and the core of the coin. The face of Albert II (King of Belgium) is barely visible. His glasses, hairline, and left ear are missing. This indicates that the pressure applied by the punch was too weak or that the punch was clogged with grease, dirt, or threads during polishing. The royal monogram on the right side is barely visible (crown and letter A). Reverse: During minting, the central ring was splintered. Three deep grooves run across the entire coin. Several vertical lines under the EURO inscription are missing. The letter E from the EURO inscription is also missing. The outer edge of the coin is deformed in several places. The map of Europe is partially invisible. Netherlands 2 Euro, 2013 – DESTRUKT commemorative coin photo 5 A very rare coin, sought after by collectors. Bimetallic alloy. Central element made of nickel-plated brass. Cupronickel Ring Side Type: Serrated with Inscription Edge Inscription: 'GOD ★ ZIJ ★ MET ★ ONS ★' Shape: Round Obverse/Reverse Arrangement: Not Reversed Weight (g) 8.5 Diameter (mm) 25.75 Thickness (mm) 2.2 Obverse: on the original coin: Coronation of Willem-Alexander JANUARY 28, 2013 BEATRIX ROYAL OF THE NETHERLANDS WILLEM-ALEXANDER PRINS VAN ORANJE 12 Stars Reverse on the original coin: 2 EURO against a map of Europe. On the outer edge are 6 stars and 6 vertical lines above the inscription EURO, and 6 stars and 6 vertical lines below the inscription EURO. General Description: Damage Irregularity resulting from die wear – the coin shows visible metal dents in the form of longitudinal lines. During minting, the dies are subjected to high dynamic loads, which sometimes causes damage in the form of cracks or even chipping. Friction between the surfaces of the dies and the coin disc causes gradual wear of the dies. Contrary to appearances, mint damage is highly sought after by collectors because its uniqueness makes it interesting and often very valuable due to its rarity and uniqueness. Coin obverse: The central ring is detached, with visible internal cracks. The inscription: JANUARY 28, 2013 BEATRIX KONINGIN DER NEDERLANDEN WILLEM-ALEXANDER PRINS VAN ORANJE is faintly visible. The 12 stars on the outer ring are distorted, and several are missing. The image of the royal couple is distorted, and their facial features and profile are difficult to see (the eyes are invisible). In addition, three narrow, deep internal grooves run diagonally through the center and outer ring of the coin, struck by a die in the central core of the coin. All grooves and crevices were created during the movement of the die and the high-pressure minting process. Reverse: The coin was further expanded and changed shape during the high-pressure minting process. The inscription "EURO" is faintly visible, and the map of Europe at the bottom is damaged and incomplete. The numeral "2" is distorted. The letter "U" is missing from the EURO inscription. Two deep grooves run vertically and diagonally through the coin's core and outer ring, distorting the entire coin. This coin has an interesting and unique, very rare, and unusual form of damage. Period: European Union (Euro) (1999-2025) Photo 6 Currency: Euro (blank disc) Type: Circulation coins Denomination: 2 euro (blank disc) Year: Unknown Bimetallic alloy. Centre: Brass plated with medium nickel plating. Cupronickel ring, smooth, without grooves Rim inscription: None Shape: Round Obverse/Reverse orientation: Not reversed Weight (g) 8.5 Diameter (mm) 25.75 Thickness (mm) 2.2 Obverse: Coin core blank, without symbols or date During minting, die impressions are subjected to high dynamic loads, which sometimes results in damage in the form of cracks or chips. Friction between the die surfaces and the coin blank causes gradual wear of the die. Contrary to popular belief, non-currency defects are highly sought after by collectors because their uniqueness makes them interesting and often very valuable due to their rarity and exceptionality. Coin Obverse: The outer ring and core of the blank are damaged by two grooves visible on the reverse as slits terminating in triangles. The interior of the core of the blank was separated from the outer ring. Reverse of the Blank: Three very deep slits run through the center of the blank. All grooves were created during the pressing and minting process under enormous pressure. Additionally, the mint blank remained in the feeder and was not moved, resulting in double off-center strikes by the punch, creating a semicircle (punch offset). A very rare blank with this semicircular pattern. Malta 2 Euro Year 2012 Error Bimetallic alloy central ring of copper and nickel plated with nickel.
