Comments

Standardowa waga tych monet wynosiła 5/11 uncji trojańskiej (218,2 grama), bez zmian w stosunku do wcześniejszych srebrnych emisji.

Krause & Mischler dzielą tę serię na dwie odmiany rewersu:
KM#818.1a (1920-22) korona dotyka tarczy;
KM#818.2 (1922-26) rowek między koroną a tarczą.

Inne źródła wskazują na trzy matryce awersu i cztery rewersu:
Awers 1 mała głowa w wysokim reliefie;
Awers 2 średnia głowa, 24½ mm i z dala od "A: B", szeroko rozstawiony "REX";
Awers 3 duża głowa, 25 mm, niski relief, szeroko rozstawiony "REX";
Rewers A podniesiona krawędź podwiązki powyżej "F-19", dwukropek "DEF" wskazuje na perłę;
Rewers B mały wzór, gładka krawędź nad "F-19" tworząca kieszeń nad "C";
Rewers C gładka krawędź podwiązki powyżej "F-19", dwukropek "DEF" wskazuje perłę w koronie;
Rewers D rowek między koroną a tarczą, legenda blisko podwiązki, dwukropek "DEF" wskazuje na przestrzeń;

Odmiany matrycy awersu z 1926 roku:
KM#818.2 188 małych paciorków dookoła, dwukropek po BRITT wskazuje między paciorkami;
KM#830 145 dużych koralików dookoła, dwukropek po BRITT wskazuje na koralik;

Obverse 2 medium head, 24½mm and away from 'A: B', wide spaced 'REX';
Obverse 3 large head, 25mm, low relief, wide spaced 'REX';

Reverse C plain garter edge above 'F·19', colon of 'DEF' points to pearl in crown;
Reverse D groove between crown and shield, legend close to garter, colon of 'DEF' points to space;
