Coin #1 in Barry's study

This second variety has a stylistically different "7" than that of the first variation. In this instance, the digit has a more noticeable Curve to its stem and the spacing between the "1" and "7", is slightly Wider than that of its companion. Also, unlike the first example, its "7" points behind the front face of the Ornamental Loop. Finally, this variety appears to be somewhat scarcer than its relative.
