Two varieties of the 1913 penny were characterised by John Dean. Both were struck with the London obverse and Birmingham reverse and they differ in the orientation of the 3 in the date.

Reverses
| P13L.1B.1 The 3 in the date is fairly upright.
| P13L.1B.2 The 3 in the date leans noticeably to the left.

Enlargements of the date
| The dates on the specimens shown above are shown here at 2x magnification and the difference between them can be seen quite clearly.
