1 / 2The George V One Penny issued in 1926 and 1927 is a distinctive later type of British pre-decimal coinage, featuring the modified portrait of King George V on the obverse. This revised effigy gives the coin a noticeably different appearance from the earlier George V pennies.
The reverse features the iconic seated figure of Britannia holding her trident and shield, a design closely associated with British pennies for generations. Struck in bronze, these substantial coins were once part of everyday British currency and remain popular with collectors today.
With its modified royal portrait, classic Britannia design and strong connection to Britain's interwar period, the 1926–1927 George V Penny is an appealing addition to collections of British pennies, George V coins and historic pre-decimal currency.
