In order to understand why mis-strikes on bi-metallic coins are often more pronounced than monometallic coins, it’s first a good idea to look intohow these coins are produced. When striking £2 coins, the first step is to punch a hole through a blank planchet to create the outer section.The inner core is taken from a different metal, sized to fit in...
Figure 1 shows how theinner core was punched out from the end of the sheet of metal used for blanks,forming a straight or ragged edge clip. Whilst this also occurs with monometallic coins, the pairing with an outer ring exposes a large gap which is much more noticeable.

There might also be a gap be...

These mis-strikes and errors certainly make forinteresting collecting and the rarer variations, such as monometallic £2 coins could certainly sell for over face value.
