Is anyone familiar with the seemingly shifted reverse on this Tang coin? I was wondering if it's  an error.

Hello

Here is your coin

N#46041

and it seems to have a mold error but it's quite common

There are no “mint errors” in mold cast coins. ( Chinese had sand made molds with these. Every casted coin is a little unique. )

Only die struck coins have mint errors because the die worns, cracks or rotates.

 

This is just a hastily made “monday” cast piece.
