"Low tide" and "High tide or normal tide" on a British Victorian 1897 Halfpenny or Farthing, or an Edward VII 1902 Penny or Halfpenny refers to how high up Britannia's shin the water is.

It is a little difficult to discern unless you have one coin of each type.

At "Low tide", the water is about level with Britannia's ankle. The hem of the robe is just touching the water line.

At "High tide or normal tide", the water is a little above Britannia's ankle. The hem of the robe is well below the water line.
