George VI 1936-1952 AD
Midway through the reign, the already debased silver was replaced by copper-nickel in 1947. With the loss of India in 1948, the King could no longer claim "IND IMP" on his coinage, so that was removed. A further innovation on the shillings of King George VI is the presence of two concurrent types - shillings with the English lion.
The shillings of George VI and Elizabeth II were unusual in that English and Scottish variations of the shilling were issued and circulated equally in both countries. The English shilling of George VI has the lion standing left on a large crown, while on the Scottish shilling the lion is facing, holding a sword and sceptre flanked by St Andrews Cross and a thistle.
