Great news if you collect the 1891 series on a die tracking basis as seen in Rob Turner's Dies & Diadems. Pic 1 is a general view of the reverse. It looks like a R10-L30 reverse with a big die break or die break/die chip combo at the 9th stem. Pic 2 is a close-up of Regina. It has a wicked repunched N that obscures the area next to the top left serif. The G is repunched at the left top serif and the chip looks more like a knob than a line. These two situations do not help in attributing the die (O2W or O2X). Pic 3 is a close-up of Canada. There is a die break at the D, the N is moderately repunched but does not show a lot of appendage. Pic 4 is general view of Victoria to show the C3 marker. Pic 5 is a close-up of Victoria. There is a die break on the 1st I, the O and the C is repunched like an O2W. The repunched T is to die for!  Yup, it is the T with long serifs as seen on the T of Gratia of the O2Y-S2 1891 SD SL C3. A find like this makes it worthwhile to scroll through ebay on a daily basis. Now we have sisters with the T with long serifs      |

47P7: Yes there are die clashes at the top and bottom of the portrait. This coin is so busy so I did not mention the die clash.

Fourmack: You are right, our coins are not the same. You have the Obverse O2Y-LS1, its obvious markers are the shape of the N's (it refered to as ''large block'') and the radial die break at N of Regina.
This obverse was married to 2 reverses, one was a Large Date Large Leaf (LD LL) die while the second was a Small Date Small Leave (SD SL)die. Your coin has the LD LL reverse, identified as R10-L37.
Your reverse has a radial die break starting at the junction of the 9th stem/9th loop, going up through the tip of the 10th leaf before ending on the bead. Mine has a lateral die break beginning on the at the tip on the 11th leaf, going through the 10th leaf before ending at the junction of the 9th stem/9th loop.
The specific obverse/reverse marriage of your coin minted 16.9% of the LDLL bearing a C3 portrait. Hope this help.

On this coin the clashes are probably holding up the value, I think.
Have not seen on with clashes like that before.
