1992 saw the changeover from bronze to copper-plated steel for both the 1p & 2p to reduce the cost of production. Both bronze and copper-plated steel 1992 coins can be found, however those in Proof & Brilliant Uncirculated sets were struck in Bronze, while circulation strikes were copper-plated steel.
1993 reverse die varieties:
Reverse A (1992-93) P shorter foot, E between pearls, pearls near to border;
Reverse B (1993-97) P longer foot, E at a pearl, pearls far from border;
Information has been received to suggest that 1993 BU and Proof sets were struck with Reverse B but this is yet to be confirmed.
