Overview
The reverse of the coin features a large numeral 3 crowned, splitting the date '19 18', all within an oak wreath. The coin shows signs of circulation and heavy oxidation/tarnish.
Historical significance
Issued during the final year of World War I under King George V. Until 1920, British silver coins were minted in sterling silver (.925) before high debasement occurred due to war costs. These small coins, often called 'Joey' coins, were popular for inclusion in Christmas puddings.
Estimated value
$2.00 - $10.00 USD (Depends on silver spot price and physical condition; this specimen shows significant environmental damage/tarnish which lowers numismatic value).
Care & preservation
Do not clean or polish the coin, as chemical or abrasive cleaning can permanently damage the surface and destroy numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place inside a PVC-free coin flip or capsule to prevent further oxidation.
