The 1897 British Penny has high and low tide variants.
The "Low tide" reverse shows the water level at Britannia's ankle.
The "High tide" reverse shows the water level significantly above Britannia's ankle.
If you had an example of all Queen Victoria Pennies and put them side by side, you would notice little, almost imperceptible variations in the water levels, but the 1897 coin is most noticeable.
1902 Edward VII Penny has a similar but different "High" and "Low" tide variation.
