I have a 1937 crown and I noticed there seems to be an error on it. I'm not sure what the error is, but it looks different from other coins of the same type. Can someone help me identify the error?

This error occurred during the minting process, specifically due to an obverse die that had a defect.

The defect in question was a small, pinhead-sized depression located in the open field just beneath the letter 'I' in 'Australia'.

As a result of this defect, coins produced with this die featured a raised dot in that specific area.

Despite its uniqueness, this error does not significantly increase the monetary value of the coin.

The "Dot below I of 'Australia'" error is a fascinating aspect of numismatics.
