When the image changes, there are several designs approved by the queen ( or representatives) that each commonwealth country can use on their currency.
I don't think there is any specific rule of thumb as to which image is in the UK and which is in Canada

The colonies often had a different portrait than the UK.

The Indian portrait designs for the same era are interesting as well. The Queen appears to change ethnicity on some of the designs and she has a definite Indian "Look" and on other coins there is the classic portrait .   |

In 1949 Newfoundland became a Province of Canada, prior to that it was a Colony and picked a different George VI crowned obverse from Canadian coinage. See the 1941 5 Cents from Newfoundland and 1940 1 Cent from Canada, no Canadian coin in circulation had a crowned KGVI obverse.

I have a few Newfoundland coins ..l but none as nice as that one SilverDon
I guess I have seen a lot of the different designed coins, I guess I always
thought the designs were different for different years ...
Knowing this now, gives me new ideas on picking up different world coins.

Very interesting discussion. I do not think I ever picked up on this before.

Yeah, I have to agree Trout, those are real bad I don't know who picked them out but, I'm sure they could have done better.  |

I don't have one .. but I am thinking I like the Gothic crown the best. I did take a look at my Newfoundland coins. I didn't find a 1872 ... but I do have a 1876, which has the same design as the 1872. I do like this design better than the first two I posted. 1876 H Newfoundland 20 cents   Edited by GR58

Many times I wonder what coins circulated in North America,
in the 1800's.
I know even today near the border of the U.S. and Canada
coins for each are often found circulating.
In Canada did Great Britain/UK coins circulate?
I think I read that the 20 cent Newfoundland coins were
worth 10 pence.

The modern Canadian effigy is one of the main reasons I stopped collecting modern Canadian coins. An album page of "anybody's grandmother" on one side just does not, to me, do credit to the REV designs. I think a crown was definitely needed on this design.
