Hey All! Check this out...looks like a vamp took a bite into the queen Anyone know what that squiggle is near her eyebrow is as well? Also, below her harline it looks like another sort of notch. I think the back of the head is double die, but I suck at telling double die
Suvoth,bagmarks are caused by the coins being shipped in the bags from the mint to the bank,as coins are always shipped in bulk,considering that thousands of coins are struck each minute at any mint,especially in this case,the Royal Canadian Mint,Winnipeg. Aidan.
You're talking about the squiggley line or the two "bite marks"? LOL Either way, neat looking Thanks again Aidan!
Snakebite. Looks like the mark of the Black Cobra. Actually looks like a die defect to me. Is there a few die cracks just under the bun on her hair as well?
I think there is soemthing under the hair (I can't make out what it is, must be just cracks like you said). And whatcha talking bout Krasnaya? I'm actually a french Canadian (I don't have a mustache!) LOL
French Canadians. Krasnaya Vityaz,there are many types of French Canadians.The most well-known ones are the Quebecois,but there are French Canadians in other provinces,especially in Nova Scotia,New Brunswick,& the midwestern provinces,especially Saskatchewan & Manitoba. Not all French Canadians are like the separatist & avowedly minority in Quebec who support the Bloc Quebecois or the Parti Quebecois.There was a serious attempt to establish a monarchy in L'Anse St Jean,P.Q. a few years ago.Here's a link; www.roidelanse.qc.ca .

Although the pics are a little distorted due to their size, I believe that the marks on Her Majesty's neck are Die dots and the squiggly line on Her' forehead is a mark from a counting machine. Frank
I mention in jest because of alleged plot with "Devils head" in QEII's hair on the 1950's paper money in Canada. Rumours spread of plot by French Canadians against British monarchy.
Krasnaya Vityaz,the 'Devil's Head' on Canadian banknotes was a coincidence,considering that it was done from a photo,which is why the reprint was done.There's nothing connecting French Canadians to the 'Devil's Head'.French Canadian nationalism reared its ugly head in the 1960's,but has now effectively faded away. Canadians are very Royalist like a majority of New Zealanders like myself.Some Canadians get very funny about titles such as 'Sir','Dame','Lord',or 'Lady'.So does the republican scum who think that they have a right to impose their racist crap policies on the people of New Zealand.As Canadian Royalists often say,"Freedom wears a crown".
