The coinage of the Commonwealth in our opinion is highly under appreciated numismaticly and certainly in terms of rarity. This huge and broad Unite features a very distincive over date where the 4 has been overstamped over a 3. Using the renowned website that solely specialises on the Commonwealth coinage sun and anchor this specific die type is unlisted making it a newly unrecorded and unpublished variation ! Good Very Fine in grade with lustre
