The obverse features the bare head of
King George V facing left, with the legend:
'GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: BRITT: OMN: REX'
Notes: Slightly smaller reverse design, with thicker rim
edge. Difficult to identify without comparing magnified
images side by side with standard reverse.
Measuring from top of 'F' in 'FID' to bottom of 'N' in
'CROWN' differences become more obvious.
Key indicators: more upright '9's in date.
