Die-links
1: same obv. die as 1876/3, 1878/6, 1891/2, 5, 1899/1–3. 3: same obv. die as 1866/8. 1, 3: same rev. die.
Note
The Α of the date is indistinct but probably intended rather than the result of a die-break. It is possible that the die was originally cut for year 20 and then the Α added. Both obverse dies were carried over from year 20.
