1942 Threepence George VI Silver Coin

Add a 1942 UK silver Threepence to your collection, struck during the Second World War as part of a calendar year mintage of 4,144,051.

These wartime coins feature Humphrey Paget's uncrowned portrait of King George VI on the obverse, paired with George Kruger Gray's Tudor rose and shield reverse. They were issued by the Royal Mint, mostly for Colonial use, making them harder to find in the UK today.

• Struck in London in solid .500 (50%) silver alongside the 1942 Brass Threepence
• Minted the year of the pivotal Battle of El Alamein - a key Allied victory in North Africa
