Comments

(en) There were no business strikes issued for circulation in 1993; coins bearing this date were available in BU and Proof sets only.

Obverse die varieties:

Obverse A (1990) 92 pearls, last I in II at a pearl, E in REG at a pearl;
Obverse B (1991, 1994-97) 91 pearls, last I in II at a pearl, E in REG between pearls;
Obverse C (1992 & 1997) 92 pearls, last I in II between pearls, E in REG at a pearl;

Information has been received to suggest that 1990-97 BU and Proof sets were struck with Obverse C but this is yet to be confirmed.

Rounded/square edge varieties

Reports have been received regarding rounded/wire edge and squared/flat edge varieties for the 1992 issues. The existence of this variation is common knowledge for the 10 pence but is less well documented for this type.
