And to me, yes looks it.

Even Albert Einstein asked questions.

I am not that good with errors. Also, I have like no knowledge on medieval and ancient coins, so I can never ID those.
 

That is called "ghosting" and is fairly common with early George V bronzes. Its not a clashed die but rather because of the obverse die and the reverse die and the way they were struck. Ghosting actually reduces value on mint state pieces, although on your coin it is worn down to the point where it doesn't really matter.

Thanks so much. You are always the British coin expert. I never knew about that.
