| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicting the badge of the Prince of Wales: three ostrich feathers rising from and enfiling a coronet composed of crosses pattée and fleurs-de-lis. The motto is divided by the central badge, with the legend arching above and the denomination numeral appearing below. This reverse die, bearing the legend NEW PENCE, was erroneously paired with the 1983 obverse die, making this coin a notable mule variety — the standard reverse for that year should read TWO PENCE. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1983 2 pence mule is one of the most famous modern British minting errors: it carries the "NEW PENCE" reverse legend at a time when the Royal Mint had officially switched all decimal coinage to "TWO PENCE" in 1982. The error occurred because production staff inadvertently used older reverse dies, almost certainly left over from earlier runs, alongside the current obverse. Only a small number entered circulation before the mistake was caught, though the exact quantity remains disputed — estimates range from a few hundred to a few thousand.
