2008 coin mistake. The 20p coins which had the shield for tales

(the shield being the shield you made by collecting all the english coins and jigsawing them into a shield)

The 20p version, doesn't have a 2008 date stamp on the heads side, and purposely doesn't have one on the tales because of the shield promotion

Those pressed are now unique and worth money
