There's one obvious error to spot that could make this coin extremely valuable.

Brits have been told to “get checking” at home for an unusual but very valuable coin that could be worth more than £1,000. The 20p coin in question could be extremely distinctive, due to the fact it has been printed on the wrong type of material.

In a video uploaded in 2022 he explained: “A copper 20p coin worth £1,300. In 1994 a collector came across a very rare 20p error coin. Unlike any other errors seen at this point, it was a copper 1p blank, which had mistakenly been struck with a 20p die at the Royal Mint. You can notice that this 20p is much thinner than average due to it being pressed onto a one pence coin blank.

“And before you say this is just a dirty coin, the Royal Mint themselves have confirmed it to be a genuine error coin that they have produced. So get checking your coin jars, because there may be more errors like this to be found.”
