Gobl I/1 issue: 1st crown (crescent type); crescents on reverse contain no stars; years 1 and 2
 

Year 1 struck at: AHM, ART, AT, AW, BN, BYSh, GD, MY, NAL, LYW, WYHC, YZ (and probably others); year 2 struck at WYHC, AYLAN, LD and LA (?) [possibly RYW (?)] [year 2 statistics from T. Daryaee, ONS 150, 1996]. I've found a MY, year 2; another MY, year 2 (Steve Album List 133, Lot 57, listed as year 1 [but definitely is year 2]).
