Iconic “Alien” die clash variety of the 2016 changeover 5 cent coin. This is the first of this type we’ve handled and they are exceptionally hard to come by. Note the “antennae” coming from the top of the penny on the obverse, the result of a clashed die from the echidna’s front legs on the reverse.
