Comments
The standard weight of these pieces was 48 to the pound avoirdupois (1/3 ounce or 145.8 grains).
'H' mintmark struck by Ralph Heaton & Sons, Birmingham (Sp#3955), all other issues are Sp#3954
In 1874, the 2nd portrait was very slightly changed. In KM#755, the D:G: is further away from the Queen's head.
So take care if you have an 1874 in case it is KM#749.
