    In 1965, a new portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was introduced on British coins. The first design had a flat field that caused the dies to wear out quickly. A trial die was made with a sloping field that proved more durable, so new master tools were created with this "Large Beads" design which became the standard. In total there were 5 varieties issued in 1965 based on differences in the obverse portrait and whether the 5 had a pointed or blunt bottom.

    In 1965 a new portrait of the Queen was introduced.

    The first new obverse had to


    be replaced because it gave such poor die life. The problem was caused by a flat
    field (Small Beads variety). A single trial die (Medium Beads) showed that a field
    sloping up to the edge was preferable so new master tools were prepared (Large
    Beads) and those dies became the standard. The 3 obverse varieties, plus the two
    reverses with slightly different 5's created a total of 5 varieties for 1965. The types
    are not classified in order they were struck, but by order of discovery.
    Chronological order is Type 1, 2, 5, 3, 4. The point/blunt in the 5 appears at the
    bottom of the 5

    Type 1 Small Beads, Pointed 5


    Type 2 Small Beads, Blunt 5
    Type 3 Large Beads, Blunt 5
    Type 4 Large Beads, Pointed 5
    Type 5 Medium Beads, Pointed 5
