Fascinating story to these: Specially designed for the collection plates of West Indian churches, into which god-fearing folk considered it terrifically bad form to put copper coinage. Being a quarter of a Spanish real, it became known as the Christian Quattie.
Initially recognised by Ernest Bramah, in his 1929 publication "A guide to the varieties and rarity of English regal copper coins: Charles II-Victoria, 1671-1860". Bramah catalogued the variety as No. 25c, and described it as Rare. The distinguishing features of this die are the shallow feature to the right of the join between the two loops of the 8 and the little tooth within the lower loop.
This series starts to get very interesting the further into Victoria you go.
Difficult date, not the commonest variety, and a very respectable grade. Peck: Scarce. Freeman: R6.
Narrow rim low relief larger bust hollow neck Know your varieties yet? If not, why not? There's 5 of them for 1921 shillings...
