I originally marked this coin as Obverse 1.

But, when I rechecked it, both I looks correct, but the B looks more like Obverse 2?

Not sure if it's to do with age and damage, or if it's a counterfeit.

Ah, thank you.

This must be a rare one, then.

 Correction - that graphic is wrong - it is Obverse 1 

   

 

 On the B letter, which I took to be correct, it is the wrong way round. 

That graphic is 7 years old and nobody noticed the error. 

Namely on the large picture of Obverse 1 the B is between beads - 

that close up is across the page - the description is alright. 

 I swapped the small pictures around, 

changed the second description, 

and added ‘Common reverse’ lettering.

Ah, I didn’t even notice the picture and information were swapped, I was more focused on the pictures.

At least something good came from my short discovery, haha.

Thanks for letting me know.

So this would be the correct one?

 Thanks but not yet - swap middle pictures and their descriptions. 

I enlarged and drew on them >
