1941 Threepence George VI Silver Coin

1941 UK silver Threepence - the final silver 3d issued for circulation in Britain (1942-1944 dates were struck for Colonial use).

Just 7,979,411 silver Threepences were minted in 1941 at the Royal Mint in London. In 1941, the city was ravaged by The Blitz and the continued hardships of wartime Britain. Globally, the attack on Pearl Harbour in December brought the United States into the war, reshaping the conflict.

• These 50% silver coins bear Humphrey Paget's portrait of King George VI on the obverse, as do 1941 Brass Threepences
• 12-sided British currency coin with a Tudor rose and shield reverse by George Kruger Gray
