Seeing jbuck's avatar reminded me of the bicentennial Ike dollars. The blockier lettering on the reverse was revised for the "type 2" version.

Mine are 1889 British shillings. For some reason in 1889 it was decided to enlarge the Jubilee bust of Queen Victoria on the shilling.
Very interesting!

There are two varieties of the French 1965 Half-Franc. They can be distinguished by the size of the lettering on the obverse:
2-Coins,-Same-But-Different---Show-Yours
I don't know why there are two varieties, but I imagine that the ones with the small lettering were the first to be minted when this new coin replaced the aluminium-bronze 50-centimes. Perhaps the obverse die was created with the same hub used for the 1F and 5F coins, and after a few months in circulation the lettering on these smaller coins started to get faint, so the Monnaie de Paris decided to increase the size of the letters. All post-1965 half-francs have the larger lettering.

Incidentally, I've never seen separate mintage figures for Large Letter and Small Letter 1965 half-francs in any catalog, but both versions are very common.

Thanks for showing that one NumisRob. I have those coins, but didn't have pictures yet.
I think you might be spot on with the reason for changing them.
