It's either the first big head or the second small head. I don't see them doing a Canadian crowned bust. I just much prefer the big head to be honest. They changed it to remove ghosting on the reverse, which was a pity and didn't fix the problem anyway.

You’re right, it didn’t fix the problem. But it did leave behind some of the rarest sovereigns of George V’s reign.

There are some rare small heads, but most rare George V sovs are big head ones, like 1916c, 1917, 1920s, 1921m, 1923sa.

The rarity of small head Melbourne sovereigns is probably more of a consequence of Melbourne stopping producing them though

Does this mean George V is next? I was hoping they would stick to the schedule as I found Edward VI an interesting one. 
 

That said, maybe they can rearrange it entirely and bring some queens out this year..
