1 / 2The George V One Penny issued between 1928 and 1936 represents the final penny design of King George V’s reign. The obverse features a smaller portrait of the King compared with earlier George V pennies, while the reverse retains the iconic seated figure of Britannia holding her trident and shield.
Struck in bronze, these large pre-decimal pennies were an everyday part of British life during the interwar years. Their traditional Britannia design, substantial size and distinctive later portrait of George V make them an attractive choice for collectors of British pennies, George V coinage and historic pre-decimal currency.
As one of the last penny types issued during George V’s reign, the 1928–1936 series offers an interesting piece of British monetary history and a classic addition to any UK coin collection.
