The George VI One Penny, issued between 1937 and 1948, is a classic piece of British pre-decimal coinage from a period that spans the Second World War and the early post-war years. The obverse features the uncrowned portrait of King George VI, while the reverse displays the iconic seated figure of Britannia holding her trident and shield, with a lighthouse and sea in the background.

Struck in bronze, these substantial old British pennies are instantly recognisable for their traditional design and rich historical character. The inscription “IND:IMP.” on the obverse identifies this earlier George VI penny type, issued before changes were made to the royal titles later in his reign.

A fascinating piece of British monetary history, the George VI One Penny is an excellent addition to collections of vintage UK coins, pre-decimal pennies, George VI coinage and historic British currency.
