£2 Coin Error: Edge inscription upside down Edge inscription upside down
The inscription on the edge of the coin All the Worlds a Stage is upside down when the coin is Obverse (heads) side up.

This is common on all two pound coins and is not a minting error as the inscription is not struck a certain way up. Any two pound coin can have the writing on the edge any way up.
