Hi y'all. Can someone help me with finding put the variety this 5 cent Canadian coin is? I know 2 of 4 are the valuable ones. Second, the obverse has a die issue. There's a cluster of numbers and letters in Elizabeth's headband and letters on her chin and across her neck. I can make out a 3 C on her headband and an E and S across her neck. Does anyone know what this is called? Die clash? Any help is appreciated. Thank u.

OP's coin is Far Leaf, No Shoulder Fold - common.
The marks could be from die clash - but to me look like post mint damage from rust and circulation.
