The George V One Penny issued between 1911 and 1926 is a classic example of early 20th-century British coinage. Featuring the uncrowned portrait of King George V on the obverse, the reverse displays the iconic seated figure of Britannia holding her trident and shield, one of the most recognisable designs in British numismatic history.
Struck in bronze and originally used as everyday circulating currency, these large pennies offer a fascinating connection to Britain during the First World War and the years that followed. Their traditional design, substantial size and historic character make them popular with collectors of George V coins, British pennies and pre-decimal UK currency.
