Checklist of Two Annas (1862-1901)

The following is my best attempt to provide a complete list of the Two Annas of Victoria 1862-1901. In general, the list provided in Standard Catalog of World Coins (Krause) is excellent. My list may contain a few minor differences based on my personal experiences. Also, proofs are not listed below. Note that up to 1884 a "dot" mint mark was used, while a "B" raised and a "B" incuse was used 1884 to 1901. During the 1884 transitional year Bombay used the dot, "B" raised and "B" incuse mint marks. If you have corrections or additions please notify me: Contact Webmaster
