Hi There,

 

This one pound is supposed producing in 1987 and 1992, but I have one which dated 1996? Is it a counterfeit item?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Ed

I guess it's a fake, there are a myriad of them often with mismatched die designs and/or dates on top of being crap quality.

Above are the images of my coin. It looks very real. Even the edge has the lettering.

Forgery, the reason that the mint changed the design was because it was estimated that over one million were in circulation
