It is a glaring variant but that a lot of people hadn't seen but that a lot of people hadn't seen. This variant is submitted by Sylvain D. Indeed he noticed that on the tests of 1833, the F in the field in the middle is small or large.

In addition, the date seems slightly larger when the F is tall. The reverses are exactly the same.
