George V 1910-1936 AD
George, the second son of Edward VII and Alexandra of Denmark, was born at Marlborough House on 3rd June, 1865. Most of his childhood was spent at Sandringham, Buckingham Palace and Balmoral.
A new design with a lion surmounting a crown was issued. The silver content was reduced from 92.5% to 50% in 1920. Telling the difference comes from experience, as the hardness of the metal changed making the strike look slightly different.
Obverse : Head left, GEORGIVS V DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX around. The head was modified during 1926.
Reverse : Lion on crown, dividing the date, FID DEF IND IMP above, SIX PENCE below.
Obverse : Head 2 (modified effigy); BM (no stops) further to right, beading recut, legend "GEORGIVS V D G BRITT OMN REX F D IND IMP"
Reverse : Oaks sprigs with six acorns; SIX PENCE A (date) D.
