I can only find 1 that qualifies as an answer to the edited question. I'm starting to think that there are not 3 correct answers.

I know of three, and I don't believe there are more than that.

I'm kind of with you doc! I do not know what one describes as a tradition. And I don't get the ‘if it is less than 100 years old thing' either. So I'm going to take a shot at this hoping this is where this question is aiming: then I guess I'm done cause I don't know where else to go.
Victoria - she had one of her effigies made with the Edward Crown as opposed to the Imperial crown, leafy garland or just nothing. No one after her has done that thus resuming the tradition of not wearing it on coins.
Edward VIII - he faced left and broke the alternating left/right tradition. This one listed all over the internet as a bad thing. The good news is he didn't stick around long enough to even get his coins in circulation (at least in GB). LOL
And the last one I'm going with is QEII. She seemed to have broken the tradition of a profile for an effigy. She broke it in at least three ways that I can see. She actually smiled in one (apparently a no-no if you are a Monarch), she appeared with her husband and then she had a full face (or close to a full face) issue.
that is all!

I have a difficult question to ask, and probably a more difficult one to answer. Could one of the things on your list actually be the beginning of a tradition that we know now, and not really the end of a previously established tradition. It could have been a tradition in the sense that it just wasn't done, maybe because they just didn't think about it, and then it was started, thus breaking the 'tradition' of not doing it.

Question? If Rik-can-do what he does, then is doing what he is doing mean that I can do what I do? Or Is doing without do just inging? See, because I wanna do what I do but don't know if I should do what Rik-can-do. Do you?

Me doth think that if you too,
Could do the things that Rik-can-do,
Then you would make up such a name,
That brings you notice, a touch of fame.

But if you can't, how bad for you,
That you can't do like Rik-can-do.
But sure as crows say caw, caw, caw,
I still respect that Wolf-n-wa.

Since it's you that mentioned feet,
Mine sure are no great treat,
Small and smelly, with stub little toes,
One might say the root of my woes.
