As far as I am aware, there has been no report of any varieties of this coin.
The reverse design was by William Henry James Blakemore and the obverse design was
by George W. de Saules. Each of these men was employed as an engraver by the Royal
Mint. De Saules served from 1893 until his death in 1903 and so it is obvious that
his design was not done specifically for Australian coinage. Of his many works,
the crowned effigy of Edward VII is uncharacteristically flat and shows few facial
features even in very high grade coins.
This coin is astonishingly common. Specimens in GEM grade turn up regularly and
are cheaper in that grade than any of the George V threepences.
