There are so many different ones and you’re right, the public probably haven’t seen many of them so the odd Chinese fake with the wrong date, missing text, stuff in the wrong place and no edge lettering – how is the man on the street supposed to know the difference! It could be a fake. Another urban myth about the coin is that putting it in the freezer overnight causes the cupro-nickel centre to pop out, a claim which had been true of some early mintings of the similarly bimetallic Canadian 2 dollar coin. Also it has no edge inscription. Again, it follows the usual Commonwealth Games £2 coin design, but feature the cross of St. George, and sells for similar prices to the Scottish coin – about £10.
