New Zealand "Broken Back" shilling


Recommended Posts

Hi Coiners

I am a new member.

I have recently aquired a number of New Zealand 1 shilling coins. I have seen the reference to 1 shilling "Broken Back"1 shilling coins on the internet.

Can some one please tell or show me what this term means.

 

Thank you

 

Regards

 

Brian

Reverse die variety in which the right-hand part of the warrior's back is incomplete and doesn't quite touch the waist of the piupiu.

Hi "Constanius"

 

Many thanks for the info and very clear photos. I have over two hundred 1 shilling coins and will now be busy very carefully checking all of them.

 

Thanks again.

 

Regards

Probably a bit late now but I think the years it occurred in are '42, '58 and '65.
