Falkland Islands private mint double error

In June 2017 Pobjoy Mint made 2 errors in text on 1 crown proof for 35th anniversary of liberation of the islands. The mint's handling of the problem is another example of a private mint ruining the hobby, as far as I am concerned.

Coin first included text "Britannia rules the waves" from song "Rule, Britannia". Error 1, the lyrics are "Britannia, rule the waves!", a command instead of statement. (This is the first I knew of the correct lyrics.) Error 2, "Britannia" should not have appeared on the coin, as the Royal Mint (UK) has the trademark "Britannia" used on coins (seems a bit far-fetched). To fix the errors, Pobjoy Mint stopped production at 7,329 coins with the text and struck 42,671 without the legend.

So while Pobjoy Mint made 2 errors, it also will benefit from the problem as there are now 2 versions of the coin to sell and increase profits. If the mint were ethical, it would have scrapped the wrong coins and made only the corrected version available for sale.

​To put it simply these mints make coins like that to make profits. If they had to melt and restrike these (I assume that this would have to be done by an external company) it would incur the cost of that and striking them again which would likely amount to overtime again an increased premium.

Is the mint to be blamed? Are they not striking those coins on order from some British authority? I don't see how they could give a value of "1 crown" if they were privately issuing them as medals.

So, the design and legends must have been sent by a British authority to them. They must have made patterns that were then officially approved. They started to strike, but once the mistake was spotted, it was up to the authority who ordered the coins to decide what to do. I don't see how the mint could be blamed here.

EDIT: Wow! I didn't think we had come to this! It is a Pobjoy Mint undertaking and, therefore, we're talking about medals/tokens, not coins. I found this from Coin World.
