Comments

"Nowy awers z królową o bardziej dojrzałych rysach twarzy i noszącą diadem został wprowadzony na wszystkich nominałach w 1965 roku. W 1965 roku użyto dwóch matryc awersu, jednej ze 138 perłami wokół obręczy, drugiej ze 119 perłami. Aby jeszcze bardziej skomplikować sprawę, odmiana ze 138 perłami jest odmianą z dużymi perłami, która z kolei występuje w dwóch stanach, jednym, w którym tylny klejnot jest lekko przymocowany, a drugim, w którym klejnot jest odłączony". - Standardowy katalog Charlton, tom I

"W 1977 roku zmiana matrycy zaowocowała nowymi stemplami, a tym samym nowymi matrycami, tworząc różnorodność w siódemce na ten rok. Siódemki różnią się rozstawem w Kanadzie, a także rozmiarem". - Standardowy katalog Charlton, tom I

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

“A new obverse with the Queen showing more mature facial features and wearing a diadem was introduced on all denominations in 1965. Two obverse dies were used in 1965, one with 138 pearls around the rim, the other with 119 pearls. To complicate matters further, the 138-pearl variety is the large-pearl variety, which in turn comes in two states, one in which the back jewel is slightly attached and a second where the jewel is detached.” - Standard Charlton catalog Volume I

“In 1977, a die change resulted in new punches and therefore new dies creating a variety in the seven for that year. The seven vary in Canada spread and are also different in size.” - Standard Charlton Catalogue Volume I
