50 cent 2005 alphabet error on edge lettering








'A' or arabic numeral.......? 

Most of us concern of error on the obverse and reverse of coins. I did checked on edge lettering which I found this. Standard reading of our 50 cent coin is BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA and looking at this coin it looks like arabic numeral. Any idea guys?

  1. Sometimes such small lettering with such small hollow can be filled up by metal thus creating this phenomenon. On the die, such lettering are in reverse or negative remember? We called this 'filled up die error'. cheers.
