Hi Tinto,
That type is the what i refer to as type6, I haven't posted any of mine yet and it is my least favourite of the group (I prefer the type 2's!). I have at least 9 varieties of these and then stopped buying them as the minor die varieties seem to go on and on. They (whichever makers' used this die) must have made these for a long time.
All seem to have a fairly consistent leaf shape but the size, shape and placement of the crown and 'Canada' scroll can vary widely. (as well as the detail on the leaf itself, from nearly smooth to richly pebbled)
One type 6 I have which I have not seen another of is brass, fully struck and has a voided crown...
