Mint
Royal Mint (Tower Hill), London, United Kingdom (1810-1975)Comments
The standard weight of these pieces was 48 to the pound avoirdupois (1/3 ounce or 145.8 grains).
There are many obverse and reverse varieties for this type, following is a selection of them:
Sp#3954 (1860-1894) no mintmark on reverse;
Sp#3955 (1874/5/6, 1881/2) 'H' mintmark on reverse below date, struck at Ralph Heaton & Sons, Birmingham.
In 1874, the second portrait was very slightly changed. In KM#749, the D:G: is closer to the Queen's head.
So take care if you have an 1874 in case it is KM#755.
KM#749.1 (1860 only) Beaded border, without die number;
KM#749.2 (1860-1874) Toothed border, without die number;
KM#749.3 (1863 only) Toothed border, with die number below date;
There are many other small variations to the obverse and reverse designs, all full list of which can be found (with pictures) in the latest version of the Spink Standard Catalogue of British Coins.
