Best Answer

There is no adequate explanation for this, but the reverse of the 1922 British Penny has a very similar, but not identical reverse to the 1927 penny, a coin minted 5 years later.

The area of interest seems to be Britannia's index finger which is a little shorter.

Many coin catalogues point out that there is a difference, but do not go on to explain it.

The British 1926 to 1927 Pennies had a slightly modified die from that used on the 1911 to 1926 British Pennies. The hair line is slightly different.
