hello!
the other day i recieved a little bag of coins, and inside it there were a few of this ones, but only one of them had an orientation like "coin allinement" instead of the normal "medal allinement" of this coin.
everything else is as shown in the catalogue linked above.
ill not post a photo (unless someone asks), becouse since i cannot take a picture from both sides at the same time theres no point on showing that one side is not the correct orientation..
i was curious to know if someone had ever come across this coin, if its a minting error or just missing information in the catalogue.
also if its a mistake, what may this be worth? the coin is in really good conditions.
anyways thanks to everyone!
Cita: "OBITV"... since i cannot take a picture from both sides at the same time

as one example. Just hold the coin close to a mirror -
so that both sides are in focus. :)

ZacUK thank you for that really good tip! ill put the pictures in this reply... i know its barelly visible, my photos are a disgrace, but the first coin is the 1964 that has the coin allinement (notice the upright 25 in front and on the mirror on the top the date 1964 is upside down) and the second picture is the medal allinement (the 25 upright, and on the mirror, on the bottom you can see the 1964).

also ZacUK i noticed you moved my post, was coin identifiaction and valuation not the correct place to post this?

It probably belongs in both sections - I moved it back again.
The coin needs to be closer to the mirror for clearer pictures of both sides,
so the camera then needs to be more at the side, in my experience.
As in here I put the Argentina error coin (1 Peso 1959) I have
on something to keep it steady ...

the problem is the focal length of my phone camera. a lot of tries later i managed to take this one photo:


i like your coin btw. i find it so weird how this type of minting mistake can happen.
