I would say maple/round leaves, because of the distance of the lower leaves from the denticles, and that the reverse crown appears to have a bow tie.

https://goccf.com/t/83682I think eastvanrob is correct. I was looking at the top leaves and judged incorrectly. I'm sure UGLY, DBM or one of those guys will be around soon.

It's hard to tell on well worn examples because your mind plays tricks on you, though I can't make out the bow, up near the crown the leaves are more protected from wear and seem to be of the rounded variety.
Close up of the bow or scan of same would nail it.

Not the greatest pic but I think EastVanRob said it all.

I'm leaning towards Maple / round! ---Why ? If you look at the first leaf at the bottom right, it has more of an inside curve on the bottom side (roundness) compared to the holy (pointed) same leaf with more of a straight line. ---Reference Charlton, to compare!

And there it is! but I think -Ugly- wanted to see a close up of the bow at the bottom? Not the Crown! ---I still say it's a (Round) though! ---Look at your Charlton! ---But still do that for -Ugly- he's senior to me! ---I'm just more pretty!  IMO

That's the one, clearly a bow tie, so it's maple/round leaves for you Sir. Edit: Commoncents is very likely better looking that I, but can he smile and scare a whole restaurant full of children at McDonalds?

-Ugly- Too very funny! You make me laugh long time  You got me on that one hands down, I cant compete with that! You must really stand by your name  <-- see they just don't stop laughing! ---I like a person with a sense of humor and shots straight! Your there on both! --- Regarding the bow tie question? Were both right! ---I thought you wanted the big obvious bow tie at the bottom? ---I use the leaves at the bottom because they live longer! --- Thanks to -Ikandiggit-He proves my point with his Add on. Intentionally or not just like Superman swoops in for a save! ---OK ill give it to ya! and I can dig it ---His crown ornament is pretty much gone and I can say with relative certainty, without it! --- Holly (Pointed) for his, from the first leaf on the bottom right! It's more straight and has an upward curve. ---For me I look at the crown ornament only as a secondary! ---This forum is great, Thanks Guys!

Thanks all for your opinions. Ugly I thought it was the top crown box from the Charlton explanation.
Thanks again

Top crown box? I'm not sure what you mean Parkay. The Charlton reference is accurate but it's true they only give you a glimpse of the possible combination without putting them in context visually. Keep in mind Charltons always uses coins that are in the 20 or better range for it's examples so identifying a coin like ikandiggit's is based solely on the leaves.
That's why I asked for a close up of the cross on the top of the crown on the reverse - identifying that really leaves no question about the reverse type on this coin. More so than the leaves which trick the eyes of people who say "wellll maybe"... and then turn it into a "definitely".
