Arguably the most famous error coin in Australian numismatics!

The 2000 mule has always been a highly sought after collectable and was created when a 10 cent obverse (heads) was used instead of what should have been a $1 obverse. The result was a small number of coins being struck with a mismatched die. This is how these coins ended up with an additional ring which runs around the outside of the legend.

There have been a variety of news articles and stories published on the 2000 $1 Mule and as a result these coins are widely known even by non-collectors which is not only great for the hobby of error collecting but an added benefit in knowing that you are looking at a high quality example of an iconic piece of Australian coin collecting!
