Separating the shillings by obverse alone proves to be a difficult task. Obverses using punched busts are fairly easy for high quality coins. However Groups as B and J are almost identical (probably by same engraver).

Group E, H and perhaps K seems to be entirely isolated operations whereas the other groups all are more or less connected by die links. At this point the general picture is rather unclear demanding a more throughout study.


Group A

 

Many details like hair curls and ribbons seems hand engraved – other details as the bow-knot punched
