Overview

The reverse features a large numeral '3' crowned, dividing the date '19 18', all enclosed within an oak wreath. The obverse (not shown) would feature the portrait of King George V.

Historical significance

Issued during the final year of World War I under the reign of King George V. These small silver coins, often called 'Joey's,' were part of the pre-decimal sterling system and were the last generation of British silver coins to be minted in .925 sterling silver before the debasement to .500 silver in 1920.

Estimated value

$2.00 - $10.00 USD (heavily dependent on condition and silver spot price)

Care & preservation

Do not clean or polish the coin, as this can destroy its numismatic value and surface patina. Handle only by the edges to avoid transferring skin oils. Store in a PVC-free plastic flip or a specialized coin capsule in a cool, dry place.
