Ⰺ 2 ERRORS GREAT BRITAIN: LIBERIA ★ 1 DOLLAR 2000 SHIP RUSSIA DRAGON FRANCE EGYPT!
An interesting, big coin with a beautiful palm tree dividing rising sun and ship under sail, minted by the world’s most progressive mint, the Pobjoy Mint. Many countries were privileged to have their own coins thanks to this mint! Reverse represents monuments from Moscow, Paris, Giza and others, along with creatures such as birds, dragon, flying man and other humans.
The coin bears two outstanding errors. The first is chronological: despite being dedicated to the Millennium, the producers released it in 2000, though everyone on the Earth knows that the next millennium actually started in 2001! The coin became a fundamental monument of illiteracy. The second error is the mint mark: under the numeral «2» on Obv., letter «M» in the official trademark «PM» lost an essential part of its right leg! The coin is in lovely condition and seldom seen on the market.
