Overview

The obverse features the left-facing head of King George V with the inscription 'GEORGIVS V D. G. BRITT: OMN: REX F. D. IND: IMP:'. The coin appears heavily circulated and oxidized.

Historical significance

This coin represents the post-WWI era in Britain. In 1920, due to the rising price of silver, the silver content in British coinage was reduced from Sterling (92.5%) to 50% silver. This specific design was used throughout much of George V's reign.

Estimated value

$1.00 - $3.00 USD (heavily worn/circulated condition)

Care & preservation

Do not clean or polish the coin, as this can severely damage its numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place inside an archival-safe holder to prevent further oxidation.
