1902
Engraver: Leonard Charles Wyon
Leonard Charles Wyon was a British engraver of the Victorian era most notable for his work on the gold and silver coinage struck for the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887 and the bronze coinage of 1860 with the second head portrait, in use from 1860 to 1894.Edge

Comments
The standard weight of these pieces was 48 to the pound avoirdupois (1/3 ounce or 145.8 grains).
1902 reverse die varieties:
Pennies struck early in 1902 used the same reverse die as the veiled head Victoria issue.
This was slightly changed during 1902, resulting in the low tide and normal tide varieties.
KM#794.1, Sp#3990A (1902 only) Low Tide, sea roughly level with hemline, 2 has wavy base line;
KM#794.2, Sp#3990 (1902-1910) Normal Tide, sea roughly level with where legs cross;
We are indebted to Declan Magee Coins and Numista member
Sjoelund for the images below indicating the differences.
