WWP * - inverted

WWP - Normal

1821 Crown - Edge: SECUNDO -

                       Rev. WWP * (Inverted) reads as dMM

                               Easy to tell from the normal WWP

                               as the WW are at the beginning !

                   Grade: EF or +   Bright

WWP *  William Wellesley Pole: Was Master of the Royal Mint

              from (1814-23). He was an elder brother of the Duke of

              Wellington.

 

The initials WWP are extremely read at the best of times.

I have noticed that on the inverted issue that looks like JMM

on my example, that the inverted initials are separated and

below the broken lance whereas on the normal issue they

virtually touch the base of the lance.

If anyone has a clearer example of the normal WWP to

replace my not very good example I would be pleased

to hear from you.
