It's exactly the same as any 4 doubles but its medal alignment.

 

It is my understanding that many UK coins were produced in medal turn, so I'll leave this for someone else to answer.

its just confusing as all of my other doubles are coin alignment :S

i cant find any reference for a medal alignment of this ill take a pic shortly

 

My old Remick Commonwealth Catalog says nothing about two varieties of the 1889.

 

here are pics of each side

 

mine doesnt either :S

i think it must be a mule, i was just wondering if it was a common mule or a lonesome one ha

 

Why would you think it's a mule? Of what coin and what other coin?

 

It was struck in coin alignment, the only mule mentioned is the 1830 which had a St Helena Halfpenny obverse, note it was spelt Guernesey (French) on the coin and not Guernsey

The "Guernesey" spelling persisted until the 1930s.

 

BTW,
I don`t see an "H" mintmark for Heaton, 1885 to 1949 were all struck at Heaton

 

There is a tiny tiny shadow of the H if you blow the image up to its largest size; I was looking for the H too.

 

so what are we thinking then ?

 

I`m thinking Santa has been so its time to pour another cool Stella Artois

 

dam right he has haha young kids like ?

 

Young grandkids more like, LOL, I`m on my own, but I still got gifts.

 

On this side of the pond, a mule is a coin that has one denomination on one side and a different denomination on the other, such as a Washington obverse (25c) struck with a Sacagawea reverse (1$).
