UK, 20 pence, 2023.  Puffin.




Lundy.  One puffin, 1929.

Were the designers of the new UK coin series inspired by the puffin tokens?

UNAUTHORISED COPY RESTRIKES




Copy restrikes, dated 1965.

Note that Lundy ISLAND is WRONG!

Lundy is old Norse for "puffin island". Adding the word "Island" would be superfluous.


Also, Martin Coles Harman had died in 1964.

Therefore these items are not genuine,

And the 1965 "restrikes" never circulated.




Copy restrike in nickel-brass, dated 1965.




Copy restrike in bronze, dated 1965.

More unauthorised copies.







Copy restrikes, dated 1977.

More unauthorised copies.
