Australia 1942I Half Penny Long Reverse Denticle PCGS XF45
The normal reverse is short denticles for this date. The 1943I long reverse denticle penny is the better known variety from Bombay Mint. Some sort of error or issue led to these two different types of reverses being introduced.
A solid example of wartime minting from Bombay.
