And finally... your country needs you

A £2 Lord Kitchener coin with a rare mistake has been sold at auction for £1,000.

The coin, which is being auctioned in Wiltshire, is believed to be the rarest documented coin with an error in circulation, with the mistake being a lack of text saying it is actually worth £2.

The coin has been authenticated by The Royal Mint Museum and comes with a signed letter.



The coins depicting Lord Kitchener were produced in 2014 to honour the centenary of the First World War.

The coin was purchased by an American bidder, This is Money reports.
