Hello everyone. Just seeking for a proper error identification for this 2 india rupees 2000. i can clearly see that there are so many inverted stamping bothe on its obverse and reverse sides. kindly specified the error name for my profile collection display.

here are snap shots for references.

thanking you all in advance.

 

 My opinion - overstamp 

There was another coin underneath before this was stamped. 

Maybe the same design, but rotated. 

Traces of lettering and design seen. 

 Will see what other members think though …

 Maybe a previous 2 Rupee [as in same size] coin was re-used 

 

 and it was cheaper to just re-stamp them instead of melting. 

So from that one picture what other coins have a circle in an oval design?

Hello my good Sir. Thanks for the quickest response. Its good that i know that i got a legit error. Just hoping to get specific identification for my profile collections name display.

thanking you very much again my good Sir!

I guess it the denominations number 2. Likely similar only inverted…

 I made these from your pictures

 Ah, what I thought was a circle inside an oval - 

it is a large 2 number, as there is more one side than the other, 

where the circle is not exactly in the middle. 

 Therefore - it is exactly the same coin overstamped. 

The new obverse was the reverse, and vice versa.

 That error is called a brockage.

 Will still see what other members think …

 Lastly, just wondering … 

It does not look like a ‘vice job’ made at home, 

as the impressions look to be under the current stampings. 

 Guessing it a double brockage where both sides are reversed - 

so in the mint both dies have a coin stuck in there. Meaning every 

coin going through will have the same error thereafter - until a mint worker 

notices and clears the dies - and investigates to prevent it happening again. 

 Actually looks like it was noticed - and these error coins with a temporary 

backward pressing got put back to go through and be re-stamped.

that was a very impressive presentation my good Sir. But what i thought was indeed right too. I came to picture in my mind that it was the 2 denominations.

that would precisely brings out concrete results.

i am just using an ordinary cellphone and magnifying lenses.

im happy you that you supported much my inquiry. Now i can name it on my profile display.

thanking you very much again my good Sir.

 GOD BLESS.

 Glad to have helped. Thanks :)

This coin was struck with clashed dies. It's quite common on Indian coins.
