The A, B, C and D type reverses relate to the common dies used by Precision Engineering for their milk token production.

A type has single dot dividers

B type is blank or no dots

C type has Crosses

D type has Double dots

Each type has more than one die variety due to breakages and wear. Each token batch was generally in the order of 10,000 tokens so a lot of production impact on the dies.

For Chadfield 

The A10 die was exclusively used for copper while the A2 die was used for the CuNi issue.

(Summer / Winter issues)

No B type die was used

A single C type (C2)

However for the D Type, two different dies were used.

D6 - Four dots; 1.5 mm between each pair of dots 

D2 - Four dots; 1 mm between each pair of dots;
