Extremely rare ERROR 50p coin depicting the Northern Rockhopper Penguin, instead of depicting the Southern Rockhopper Penguin. As you may know or not, the Northern Rockhopper penguin was only been sighted in the Falkland Islands on a handful of occasions, therefore , is not considered being native to Falkland Islands. That’s the main reason why they the production of this coin stopped at 3,200 pieces, being replaced with the native Southern Rockhopper Penguin. Following approval from the Gouverment of the Falkland Islands, the coins which been struck to date which amounts 3,200 pieces, been allowed to be distributed. This superb coin has a weight of 8g and a diameter of 27.30mm, in a Cooper-nickel diamond finish condition, BUT despite the fact is coming directly from the Mint, due to the poor services offered , minor surface marks are visible. It comes encapsulated with certificate of authenticity ( PLEASE BE ADVISED the certificate says 7,500 mintage , instead of the real mintage of 3,200 , just because they supposed to be 7,500 mintage).
