I can't find in catalogue this coin (1994 year - NEW PENCE!!!): 

Obverse

Reverse 

 

Coin alignment!!! with some rotating shift.

Hello and welcome to Numista!

 

That coin doesn't exist.  Let's see a picture of the edge.  Measure the thickness.  Somebody doctored up these coins to make one.

 

N#868

N#664 

Actually, never mind. It's obvious where they were spliced together

Thank you for the answer! Why someone spliced together two sides of two different coins? for what?

Same answer.  Somebody took a 1994 Two Pence coin, machined off the reverse face, then took a 2 New Pence coin, machined away everything except the reverse face then glued two 2 pieces together.  They created an interesting fake coin.

For fun or maybe profit.  There are other examples of similar coins in the Forum.

Here's another one of the same type:

Is one side predominant magnetic than the other? Because in 1992 the 2ps changed from Bronze to Bronze plated steel. I assume someone was practicing faking the 1983 New pence error on other 2ps and the OP’s coin was one of them.

 

Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.

Where did that picture come from?  Is that the obverse and reverse of the same coin?

These two coins are from my date run, I am showing to the OP that post 92 2ps (except a few 1998 and 1999s) are magnetic, so in theory if the ops coin is two coins stamped together one side should stick to a magnet easily while the other side would struggle to.

Using a magnet on either side of the coin is not nearly sensitive enough to see a difference just because the remaining steel is farther away on one side vs. the other.  Maybe with some super sensitive equipment…

 

Regardless, there's no question this coin was a result of doctoring the two other coins.  I think you're right in that somebody was trying to create a different type of this mule coin:  N#220602

That might have been a possibility.
