1990 10 cents coins Die error. Please confirm with the photos and the Royal Mint description details

Hello,
Details about 1990 10 cents Barbados Die error Observe Die1, revers die B
(should be Die1-A).

The Royal Mint coins were struck by two groups of dies for Obverse and Reverse.

Obverse
Die 1 - motto 'PRIDE AND INDUSTRY' bold, all the rest details thin and far from each other.
Die 2 - motto 'PRIDE AND INDUSTRY' thin, all the rest details thick and closer to each other.

Reverse
Die A - letters of denomination are thin, PN tall, the upper clow next to C in CENTS pointed down.
Die B - letters of denomination are thick, PN low, the upper clow next to C in CENTS pointed up.

Combinations
Dies 1+A in 1973-1987.
Dies 2+B in 1989-2005 and continued 2006-2018 on Nickel plated Steel planchets

    Looks to me like 2-B, normal for the 1990.

    I agree the Motto is thin and not bold. However the O and S in Barbados doesn't seem to be close enough in reference to the above Royal Mint photos.
