George V, Penny 1935 Unc/Brilliant Unc

1D (1 Penny) from the reign of George VI, minted in 1937 and in uncirculated condition.

It is strange but true; the Royal Mint did not strike a lot of the bronze coins that were issued in this country. In fact, at one point they were using two private mints to strike coins for them. The Heaton Mint which has a mintmark ‘H’ as on this coin and the Kings Norton Mint which used a ‘KN’ mintmark. Interestingly enough, both private mints have gone out of business. This Penny is dated 1918, which was during World War I and we guess the Royal Mint had too many other things on its plate. The mintmark is below Britannia to the left of the date. The coins on offer are in Fine condition and are rather difficult to find these days. The Royal Mint didn’t strike this 1918 Penny but the Mint Birmingham Ltd did. Why not add one to your collection?

King Edward VII was the son of Queen Victoria and because she ruled for so long, his rule was rather short. In fact, the coins of Edward VII were only issued from 1902 to 1910, but that also means that all of his coins are over 100 years old. All coins are in Very Good condition with the details and the date clearly legible. Offered here is the 1902 penny. You have the bare head of the King on one side and a beautiful seated Britannia on the other side.
