Irregularity due to the wear of the die, the coin shows metal crushing in the form of longitudinal lines.

During the minting of coins, there are high dynamic loads on the dies, which sometimes causes damage in the form of cracks or even chips. The friction occurring between the surfaces of the dies and the coin disc causes gradual wear of the dies. Contrary to appearances, mint destructs are highly sought after by collectors, because their uniqueness makes them interesting and often very valuable, due to their rarity and exceptionality.
