I'll go with class 9b too; the unbarred Ns (I don't think they are pothook) are disinctive.

I third the suggestion, Class 9b2.

The cross on the obverse is the ghosting of the metal being forced into the reverse die. It was an issue that troubled mints right up until the 1930s, at least. The modified effigy of King George was to deal with a very similar issue.
