This 1977 New Zealand 20 cents is an original circulation-era copper‑nickel coin notable for a clipped planchette error, where part of the blank was missing before striking, producing an irregular edge and a collectible variation on the standard design.
The clipped planchette is visible along the coin’s rim and affects the overall silhouette while the struck design remains largely intact, offering both visual interest and numismatic significance.
