Three Types
All three types are quite similar.
The first is are from the London Mint, and all have die numbers below the shield on the reverse. The designer's initial WW are raised on the truncation of the neck.
The second type if from the Sydney Mint. These are similar to those from the London Mint, except they have the Sydney "S" mintmark in place of the die number,
The third type is from the Sydney Mint, and varies from the second type by having the initials WW incuse. Marsh fails to differentiate between these two types.
The three types are listed in increasing degree of scarcity.
