Last year the royal mint brought out a brand new 20p coin with part of a sheild on it..
They made the mistake of using the casting die from the old 20p on the monarch side of the coin, consequently there is no date present.
These coins are in circulation but are rare, if you find one in your change then its worth £50-£80.
There are estimated to be between 100,000 and 200,000 of these coins in circulation. Given that there are 1,300,000,000 20p pieces in circulation it means that 1 in every 8667 is affected.
Good luck finding one people!
