1937 Threepence George VI Silver Proof Coin

1937 silver proof UK Threepence, struck in the year of King George VI's Coronation as part of a low mintage of 26,402 coins.

• 1937 silver proof Threepences feature Humphrey Paget's first effigy of George VI on the obverse
• With George Kruger Gray's Tudor rose reverse, used exclusively during this reign
