VENEZUELA. Mint Error -- Struck with Two Obverse Dies -- Bolivar, 2012. Maracay Mint. NGC MS-64.
cf. KM-Y-93. Even without a date on either side, it is possible to identify this piece as 2012 because of larger edge letting. An enterprising mint employee likely produced this two-headed piece as sport. There are very few of this RARE type extant with just two others listed in the NGC census, so those who specialize in Venezuelan mint errors or modern issues should jump at this seldom encountered opportunity.
Estimate: $100 - $200
