Reverse E - Wreath around the edge, Crowned large 3 central, Date split either side of 3.
The orb, at the top of the crown, has no raised lines and in just a clear 'blob' !
The crosses patée towards the base of the Crown now have a raised border.
The 2nd wavy design below the crosses and fleur de lis has been removed and
with TWO solid lines. This is by far the easiest way of determining this reverse.
