Description

Queen Victoria, bronze one mil, 1863 (Heaton mint), large plug, reverse rotated 180 degrees, (Pr.193; KM.1; Ma.C1). Red and brown tone, uncirculated.

According to Pridmore there were twenty million 1863 one mil coins produced. Nineteen million at the Royal Mint and one million at the Heaton Mint. He states there is no difference in the coins. There are however two varieties of the 1863 one mil. One variety has seriphs on the letters and the other does not. They seem to appear in an even number, so one can assume there were two master dies.
