Manufacturing problems with the Queen’s new effigy led to a number of changes to the 1965 die sets:
The first die design used was the ‘Small Beads’ variety. That design led to a very poor die life, so it was fine tuned.
This obverse was paired with both reverse varieties to produce the first two overall varieties of the coin:
– Type 1: (SB-P5) Small Beads Obv, Pointed 5 Rev
– Type 2: (SB-B5) Small Beads Obv, Blunt 5 Rev
A single die set was then produced with ‘Medium Beads’ and that design proved that an obverse with the field sloping up at the edge was preferred.
This obverse was paired with only one reverse variety to produce the fifth overall variety of the coin:
– Type 5: (MB-P5) Medium Beads Obv, Pointed 5 Rev
(Note this type may not seem to be numbered in sequence. This is because it was the last variety to be discovered)
A final ‘Large Beads’ design was created that incorporated more fine tuning.
This obverse was paired with both reverse varieties to produce two overall varieties of the coin:
– Type 3: (LB-B5) Large Beads Obv, Blunt 5 Rev
– Type 4: (LB-P5) Large Beads Obv, Pointed 5 Rev
