Occasionally, the Royal mint has a mix up with the dies or the blanks used to produce coins.
It is possible that the 10 New Pence dies were used on a 2 New Pence blank.
If this is the case, part of the 10 Pence coin design will be outside the perimeter of the 2 Pence blank, the 10 Pence coin being slightly larger than the 2 Pence coin.
Alternatively, you may have a trick coin available from magic shops.

Why on a 1979 two pence coin does it say new pence not two pence?
From the introduction of decimal currency in Britain until 1981, all decimal coins, except the 25 Pence coin, had the words "NEW PENCE", "NEW PENNY" or "NEW HALF PENNY" inscribed across the top of the reverse, with a numeric value at the bottom. The use of the word "NEW" was intended to assist with the distinction between old and new currency. From 1982 onwards, the "NEW" was dropped. There was a little minting accident in 1983 on the 2 Pence coin and a number of coins were struck with the word "NEW" on them.
On a British 2 Pence coin does it say New Pence or New Penny?
