George V was born in 1865 to Edward VII and his wife, Alexandra. He came to the throne not long before the start of the First World War and is remembered for offering Britain strength. He was also the founder of the house of Windsor, as he stripped away his German name, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, in favour of Windsor due to the anti-German feeling that spread during the war. He proved to be a popular king, held up as a symbol of continuity after the war, which is perhaps why the British monarchy survived even when other European monarchies were toppled. He died in 1936, the year after his Silver Jubilee, leaving the throne to his son, Edward.

Although collectors and investors often worry about counterfeits, it's actually very hard to convincingly fake a gold coin. Gold is extremely dense and to use another metal and gold-plate it would result in a coin that is under-weight, over-diameter or half-again as thick, something that would be spotted very easily by an expert. You can buy from us 100% worry free.
