MALAYSIA BUNGA RAYA SERIES 10 SEN 2002 WRONG METAL ERROR

Malaysia Bunga Raya Series 2002 Ten Cents Coin Struck On Brass Planchet Error
Rarity: RRRR
Wrong Metal – When a blank intended for one coin is accidentally mixed into blanks destined for another and is struck with those dies.
This Malaysia Bunga Raya series 2002 10 sen error coin has been struck on a planchet made of a metal that was not intended for 10 sen coin.
Struck on wrong planchet, sometimes classified as a Striking Error and sometimes classified as a Planchet Error, a coin struck on an incorrect planchet occurs when mismatched planchets are fed into a coin-stamping press. This results in a coin that has been stamped on a planchet with different metal composition intended for a differently coin.

The resulting errors are prized by collectors, though they are usually caught during the manufacturing process and destroyed.
