Most young head Shillings have a tiny number on the reverse below
the ribbon on the wreath. These die numbers were used so that the
mint could tell how many coins the dies produced before they
needed to be replaced. The die numbers usually do not have an
affect of the value of the coins although some collectors collect
shillings to complete a run of die numbers.

The "Jubilee head" designed by Joseph Edgar Boehm but it was
engraved by L.C. Wyon.

The "Old head" was designed by Sir Thomas Brock,The reverse
was designed by Sir Edward Poynter,but engraved by George
William de Saulles.
