Boy oh boy, this is a tough one. 84 or 88. 84 or 88. 84 or 88.

The guy that designed the beaver designed a whole bunch of other coins, as follows:

Kruger Gray designed the Reverse ("Tails") of most of Australia's second set of currency, used from 1937 until the changeover to decimal currency in 1966. This included the halfpenny, penny, threepence, shilling, florin and crown. (The sixpence did not change design.) Additionally, he designed the reverses of the commemorative florins for 1927 and 1935.
In Canada, he designed the reverse of the one cent (penny) in use from 1937-2012, five cents (nickel) in use from 1937 to the present day, and 50-cent coins in use from 1937 to 1958.
For Cyprus, he designed the reverse of the 1938-1940 9 piastres and 18 piastres, 1928 45 and 4½ piastres, and 1947-1949 florin.
For Great Britain he designed the reverse for the 1927-1945 silver threepence, 1927-1948 sixpence, 1927-1936 shilling, both the Scottish and English motifs for the 1937-1948 shilling, 1927-1948 florin, 1927-1948 half crown, 1927-1936 crown (except for the 1935 Jubilee crown), and 1937 crown. The 1927 date was issued on as proof specimens. His designs for the shilling (both designs), florin and half crown were continued from 1949-1952, though do not bear his initials 'KG' because the inscription had been modified by the omission of 'IND:IMP' and the layout was therefore modified by another hand.
For Jersey, he designed the reverse for the 1927-1952 1/12th shilling (the penny) and the 1/24th shilling (the halfpenny).
For Mauritius, he designed the reverse for the 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents and 10 cents for 1937 to 1978, and the 1/4, 1/2 and 1 rupee of 1934-1978, though some of his designs are still being used in the 21st century.
For New Guinea, he designed the reverse for the 1936-1944 penny, threepence, sixpence and shilling.
For New Zealand, he designed the reverse for the threepence (depicting crossed patu), the sixpence (depicting a huia bird), the shilling (depicting a Maori warrior holding a Taiaha), the florin (depicting a kiwi), and the half crown reverse 1933-1965.
For South Africa, he designed the reverse for the ¼d (farthing), ½d (halfpenny), 1d (penny), threepence, sixpence, shilling, florin, and half crown 1923-1960. Reverse 1961-1964 half, two and half, five, ten and Twenty Cents.
For Southern Rhodesia, he designed the reverse side of the 1932-1952 threepence, the 1932-1952 sixpence, the 1932-1952 shilling, the 1932-1954 two shillings, and the 1932-1952 half crown.

joecoin,
Thank you very much for your last two posts, which shared information I found very interesting to learn. My father was born in Andover, New Brunswick in 1899 and we will always have a deep affection for our great neighbor to the north! I'm in the process of organizing my coins from Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Laborador, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick right now.

I'm rooting for ya joe

I wonder who ?

We have a winner. Congrats sprue. Seeing as the quessers picked the coin, and there were some doozies in that page that would have gave you a better run, you basically beat yourselves. That makes me the winner. . But, in the spirit of giving this season, I'll pass the crown to sprue. Naa, I just want us to show him who's the boss around here again. . Popcorn eatin'.....

Here's a pic.



I liked it enough to spend a dime on it. Nice light gold tone to it.
