OK, I know it's darkside, but it seems most error enthusiasts are in this forum. And besides, Canada is almost U.S., right? So I hope you won't get too mad at me.
The latest and greatest addition to my collection in a long while: a 1978 Canadian nickel coin overstruck by an Israeli 10 Agorot coin.
The Royal Canadian Mint was striking coins for Israel that year and has minted over 100 million 10 Agorot coins. This one just happened to be minted on an already struck Canadian nickel.
Traces of the underlying design show well, especially on the reverse where you can see the beaver's tail, part of the log it's sitting on, two Canadian maple leaves, the legend "5 Cents" and part of "Canada", and the date of 1978. On the obverse, the legend "Elizabeth" and the denticles all around belong to the Canadian coin, plus a few other faint traces. The Israeli coin is also dated with the Hebrew date 5738, which corresponds to 1978 AD.

this looks like a good candidate for an occ overlay!
i'll get to work finding images.
i have a few of these world coin over-strike types from various nations and they are interesting to me for sure.

took longer than i anticipated. working on other projects, looking for images, played some clusterball to relax and finally found 2 of my own coins to image for the overlay. tried to find the precise years but came up short.
looks like it is going to take even longer. i used a 1953 nickel and there are vast differences in design compared to a 1978 canadian nickel. didn't know until almost done.
gonna have to dig for a new nickel to use. grrr
i'll post what i have right now but i'm gonna have to re-do the overlay obv/rev. once i get the right canadian coin. it looks like the israel coin i used will be ok despite being a different year, 1965.

well i lost the desire vs the amount of effort vs the available coins/images to do the other side so as a consolation prize, here are 3 that i have.

son of an Israeli Mint official, but it
was about 10 years ago, if not more.
There were many examples of Canadian
over other World coins, and World coins
struck over Canadian coins, as well as
other error types.
They show up every now and then on
Ebay and other venues.
It was a fun deal - the first I'd ever seen
from Israel like that.
