This is what I'm looking at.
Top 7 are SOCY & CO.OP.  Bottom 6 are SOC.
Struggling to find any that are the same.
I start with the slash and dash pointing to which letters.
The size of the lettering for LIMITED. And position of L relative to 1.
The size of the 1. Gap between 1, / and -.

Oh well.

A question.  Were the Coop staff issued with special tokens as their divi? Like the orange painted jobby?

I shall have to sleep on it! its bedtime

I have downloaded a copy so that I can lighten it up to view better. I also felt all mine were different, possibly the 1/- had the most use.

The main feature is the figure 1 flat-top with short-squat or tall-thin.

Others have sloping-top 1...

Many thanks Mal.

RACS 6d
I've decided on 5 classes
1) D with dash underneath
2) D with dot underneath
3) D with 2 dots underneath
4) D with dash and dot underneath
5) D with dash and 2 dots underneath

Within those there are various varieties ::)  And yes, I've checked Mal's pieces this time! :o  Just as well as I don't have a Class 3 piece :-[

The figure 1 with the flat top is usually described as a Roman one, while the sloping top one is described as the Arabic one.

Not so funny really!  ;)

Just spotted another, see  Reply #9 not sure what to call this kind of plating?
