 |  | Back in December 2008, it was discovered that the Royal Mint had accidentally produced and released a rare mule error coin. This combines the first type obverse with the new type reverse, neither of which are dated. At first a few of these changed hands at over £100 each, ping as more were found to around £20 each. Until... the so-called London Mint Office issued a clever press release purporting to be buying these for £50 each (terms and conditions apply). The UK and world media have got hold.. | 2008 | United Kingdom |
 |  | This is the early or first type 20 pence. This reverse design was first used in 1982 on the first (modern day) 20 pence. It was last issued in the first half of 2008, after which the design of both sides changed. As you can see, the reverse is dated, the obverse in undated. We have created an info page about these on our 24carat.co.uk website, following the recent hysteria about the completely undated mules. | 2008 | United Kingdom |
 |  | This is the recently introduced 'jig-saw' twenty pence, issued in the second half of 2008, as part of a design change to all the British definitive (non-commemorative) circulation type coins. As you can see, the obverse is dated, and the reverse is not. 20p coins have hit the news big-time here in the UK, following a clever bit of PR by a coin marketing company, which has given them thousands of pounds worth of free advertising. | 2008 | United Kingdom |

 |  | It's difficult to decide whether this French Indo-China silver Piastre should be classified as Laos, Cambodia or Vietnam. We think these are really attractive trade dollars. | 1900 | Vietnam |

 |  | We tend to see very few coins of Djibouti, partly because of its small population, and therefore low mintages. The coin pictured is a silver proof coin marketed as part of a collection of 'Ships and Explorers'. Reverse: A 17th century frigate (sailing ship) in full sail, with a representation of the Djiboutian flag in an exergue formed by waves, with the legend:

 |  | One would not expect the remote and isolated Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan to commemorate the Queen of England's 40th Coronation anniversary, and Bhutan is hardly a prolific coin issuer. Perhaps the connection is one monarchy recognising another. Silver proof 300 Ngultrum. | 1993 | Bhutan |
