Comments

There are 1985 coins with a short date (far from pearls, left on picture) and long date (near to pearls, right) serif '1' in 1985.
In both the coins shown on the picture from erdvilla there is no period following the G in G VICTORIA and the G is touching the pearls.

In the third variety (picture from TMS) the G in G. VICTORIA is followed by a period, it is separated from the pearls and the 5 has a coiled tail.

The first and second varieties, with 'G' touching the pearls:

The third variety, with "G." separated from the pearls and with a period after the "G":
