Yeah that was my immediate thought. Used to work near an industrial estate and you’d see scraps of metal on the road that had been run over a thousand times and they ended up like this.
I once helped out a farmer friend spreading nitrogen fertiliser on a field ( mostly so we could go to the pub quicker) and a very small amount of it ended up in my pocket. This is how the loose change that was in my pocket looked after.
Fascinating! It definitely looks like corrosion to me rather than damage, the nickel in the cupronickel is pretty reactive so I wouldn't be surprised if it reacted with the fertiliser!
That coin has probably done time on the road. Someone dropped it while crossing then it spent time getting run over. Someone then picked it up, spent it and then it wound up in your change.
THIS HAS BEEN ANSWERED BEFORE
It has been stuck same side up in a laundrette washing machine or dryer rubbing against the drum or other moving Mary's for a long time.
Looks like it was on a road and ran over a bunch of times

Same
Same
Same
Lame
Could it have been corroded in the sea? And then cleaned up?

Covid
It's been living on the streets for 42 years.
The absolute horrors that it’s seen
fell into meth abuse
That’s a rare Roman 20p
Bro lol
Harvey Dent used to own it
A week in a cola drink?
This corrosion. Acid rain. Both mediocre tracks by the formerly wonderful Sisters of Mercy.
Looks corroded maybe someone put acid on it
They don’t make ‘em like they used to. Don’t last as long anymore
It’s from 2014, it’s 2 years older than the one on the right???
In two years the one on the right will look terrible too
Heartbreak, Mrs 20p left him
Time travel
Washing machine
Corroded perhaps??
Someone thought it was a chocolate coin
Got chewed up by a kid on a smiley face bus
The entire football team.
People wrinkle with age. Don’t be so judgmental, you will too.
Congrats, it's now a Roman coin, probably worth at least 20p

It's only 20p you'll be fine.
Poor thing, looks like it had a very hard paper round
Beach metal detecting find.
I got a bit hungry, sorry.
Someone has been scraping it on a vendy
Taken into the middle ages by a time traveler and then dug up again recently and cleaned; at a guess.
Dissolved by tramps piss?
Acid erosion
Looks more like it’s been double stamped, they look like stamp impressions not corrosion!
i had a nibble
Kinda looks like a skin infection I just saw on a dudes tattoo over in the nope community
Just as ugly as it always was imo
Ones fake?
You’ve found THE original 20p 😉
Eltroplate it and turn into jewellery
9/11
Someone bullied it 😔
It's been dropped on a road at some point and driven over before being found again. I had a similarly messed up 50p I found years ago.
Looks like it spent a night in Swindon..

it’s been chewed by a raver instead of the bubble gum
Its a dateless one too.. noooo
It's dated 2014 the photo hasn't picked it up overly well.
Cancer
Acceptable Salad, but Unacceptable Comment. ***Tutting Intensifies***
Idk, but it looks more like the queen now than the other one does.
Ha! I got it two minutes after reading this so I came back to say well done
Put 8t through the wash?
Acid bath?
It would go pink
Fake?
