Here's as interesting detail, showing a 3/3, which according to a collector from Iceland, was re-engraved at the Copenhagen mint versus being re-hubbed. While I'm not quite sure why such a larger digit was punched/engraved over the 3, I was told the mint re-used many dies during this period.

Kurt, that is a "large/small", that can't be confused! Nice coin!
